5 out of 5 stars
It is so easy to use, and it works effortlessly!
Easy as 1-2-3! I noted the depth I needed for my bulbs... I put the ring on the bottom that gave me that depth, and started poking holes in the lawn. As you can see in the photo's I attached, I was able to punch 11 holes in the ground (which took me about 30 seconds). I then walked 4 feet over to my walkway and tipped the unit upside, and all 11 plugs slid right out! I carried on in this fashion until I had all the holes I needed. Then I popped in a bulb in each hole and followed up by putting all the plugs back in. I absolutely love this purchase!

    Bought this for brown spots from the female dog. It works good for 5-6 plugs the eject out the top and you replace them with good grass from another spot. The size of the plug could be bigger but it does what it is supposed to do.

    I didn¡¯t have any fear of it breaking or damaging it with my body weight required to get a good deep core.

    Used it today to plant 1500 garlic bulbs. Works great. If the soil is to moist, the plugs can get very hard to get out of the tool. If the soil is too dry, the soil plug may not all come out. Still worked in my garden as the moisture varied as we were planting.

    Had an amazon GC and ordered this.

    Tested one area and it was really easy to use.
    Plugs are growing in now and tried plugs from other areas of my lawn. They are starting to grow in as well.
    Really happy with this purchase, I plan to dominate with the best lawn possible

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, is DOES work on St. Augustine Grass!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    This pro plugger is a gem! I am here to tell you it does work on St. Augustine Grass and I am living proof that it does. Two years ago I transferred approximately 80 plugs from one part of my yard to another. It took some time, but it did work! I have Raleigh and Palmetto St. Augustine Grass sections in my yard. The only mistake I made was I used the 2 inch depth for plug transfer at that time, so it took longer to establish. BUT, it did work! I now have a full section of Raleigh St. Augustine grass in that new section. In addition, this week I transferred 400 Raleigh St. Augustine Plugs to a new section again. This time I used the 4 inch depth and much better for root transfer. You have to wet the areas first, both to and from transplant to the plugs can be slightly sticky and stay a plug. As a caveat, my soil is mostly clay with a little bit of sand and silt. If a person has mostly sand, then I could see where that could be a little more painful. I live in southeast North Carolina close to the southeast coast, YES, we have St. Augustine up here...cold tolerant varieties. I just want to let people know that you can use this amazing plugger to transfer St. Augustine plugs in your own yard. The establishment process is a little longer than buying pre-established plugs that have a good root base already and screaming to get out and grow. So compared to pre-established plugs, give these St. Augustine Pro Plugger transfers another 2 to 3 weeks longer. Who cares! It's already in your yard, just put the labor in and get it done. Sprinkle some balanced fertilizer in those holes, shove those plugs in, and water, water, water, daily. If you buy plugs or sod from the big box stores or big farms, you still have to put the labor in anyway and you still have to water, water, water, anyway! The only reason their website may not recommend for St. Augustine plug transfers is because it takes a few weeks longer for them to establish. I notice they say they don't "recommend", they never said "do NOT use for." I am here to tell you it works and the possible reason they say don't recommend is for the extra time it takes.
    I'll add more to this post later as I'll have some updated photos to verify. E.G., 30, 60, 90 day etc., plug growth.
    If you're on the fence about using it, don't ever let some one tell you what you can't do!!!

    Ok Folks, here are the photos to show what is possible. This is my own experience. I cannot speak for others. The photos of the dying rye grass patch are a checkered pattern of St. Augustine plugs I transferred this week in a new area. They are hard to see, but if you look close enough you can see the plugs in a checkered pattern spaced about 6 inches apart from each other. And the other photos are of what the area I plugged two years ago look like now.

    I just added 5 new photos of a 31 day update on Raleigh St. Augustine plugs I transferred using the Pro Plugger. Looks to me like ALL of them took; roots and all! You can clearly see the runners (stolons) are starting to take off. You can clearly see the 6 inch pattern between each originally plugged. These pro plugger St Aug plugs appear to me they are extremely ready to spread and take off with aggression. And I took all of these from another area in my own yard. I have read that the pro plugger doesn't work on St Aug grass. Hmm? Unless I need to be medicated, what I'm seeing is this whole area will be completely filled in before summer's end. Don't always believe what people are negating and don't ever let some one tell you what is not possible and don't ever let some one tell you what you can't do! Try it for yourself and see what is possible.

    Hab mir den Plugger geholt, um schlechte sichtbare Stellen im Rasen mit guten aus nicht so einsehbaren Stellen auszubessern. Genial einfach, aber wurde bereits oft geschrieben. Bisher auch keine Verstopfungen. Erdreich hatte scheinbar die richtige Feuchtigkeit um nicht gleich zu zerbr?seln oder zu verkleben. Stanzen bis der Plugger voll ist, umdrehen, von oben etwas dr¨¹cken (Rohr ist konisch) und schon purzeln alle Plugs wieder raus.

    Thema Zoll: Hier muss ich voll und ganz dem Vorredner "D. Paul" zustimmen. Echt schon eine Hausnummer, was den Plugger nur unn?tig verteuert. Versand ohnehin schon mit Aufschlag, kommen dann nochmal 17,20€ onTop in der DHL-Filiale bei der Abholung. Und NEIN, der Postbote zieht das Geld nicht ein, man muss das Paket selbst in der Filiale abholen. Das K?rtchen zur Abholung mit ausgewiesenem Zollbetrag zur Begleichung wurde mir zusammen mit einem anderen Paket vom DHL-Boten ¨¹berreicht.
