RECOMMENDED RECOVERY METHODS

Adapted from "Tools 'N Techniques" By Robert H. Sickler
Used in less moist lawns where targets are not so deep (1 to 4 inches) and
where "plugging" is objectionable. This method requires more practice but is
much less damaging to grass than Method 2- "Plugging" shown on the next
page.
After pinpointing the target, use a nonmetallic probe such as a modified
fiberglass fishing rod or a metallic probe such as a blunted ice pick (the former
causes less damage to the target) to locate the target depth (Figure 1A). Next
insert an eight-inch screwdriver on center just above the target and rotate
slightly to open the ground (Figure 1B). Now insert the screwdriver just under
the target at an angle and lever the target to the surface (Figure 1C). Brush all
loose dirt back into the hole and close the hole by exerting pressure all around
the opening (Figure 1D).
