Get sod ready on next “Gardening in Georgia”

Learn how to prepare the yard for sod installation and “clone” plants on “Gardening in Georgia with Walter Reeves” on May 21 and 24.

"Gardening in Georgia" airs on Georgia Public Broadcasting stations across Georgia each Wednesday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Show host Walter Reeves will show how to till, rake and roll a bare lawn before putting in sod. He’ll work on a lawn mower, quickly, safely and cleanly, using a ladder and a cinderblock, too.

With a fistful of sphagnum moss and three handy items from the kitchen, Reeves will show how to propagate, or clone, any plant.

“Gardening in Georgia” is coproduced by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and GPB. It's supported by McCorkle Nurseries and the Georgia Urban Agriculture Council.
