I went back to a site that I hunted a few months ago and inspected a few of my plugs that I had previously cut . Now that the grass is greening up and growing it was pretty evident that it had been detected . The grass wasn't completely dead but not nearly as green as the rest of the yard , also it was either slightly sunken in or you could see where the sides were cut . It didn't look horrible but I am not comfortable knocking on doors after seeing this. This was my grandmothers yard and it didn't bother her but I didn't like the results. All of my other sites have been old cellar holes in the woods so this was my first " nice " yard .

I used a Fiskars serrated planting " knife " to cut the plugs . I cut 3 sides and hinged the flap over and left the fourth side intact . Laid a cloth down and laid any other soil on top of it . Then poured the soil back in the hole , tamped it down with my fingers , and hinged the plug back down and tamped it down with my foot .

Any ideas on what I should do different .
