My neighbor gave me 2 pallets of sod yet it sat in her front yard for 7 days covered in plastic because of downpouring rain when I unrolled the they are extremely yellow and falling apart. Is there anyway to salvage all this sod?
Hi, Wesley!
It’s possible that this sod can survive.
The yellow could just be from lack of light/air — or it could be mildew/fungus from being under wraps.
Since it’s free, we would give it a shot and plant it.
Tell us how it goes!
