Thanks Gunnar for the update. I am very interested because there is so much conflicting information to which type of digging holes is the best. Thank you again.....Z

If it is summer where you are, then that is normal for a fully cut plug...unless you put some water on the plugged area after replacing the plug....if you can leave some grass "hinged" to the plug, the deterioration wont be quite as bad, but in summer, still noticeable.

If I remember correctly, the fully cut plug is the one on the left side of the picture and the middle one is the hinged plug and on the right is the slit.

Is that correct? If it is, then the fully cut plug is coming back nicely, while the hinge and slit still show some problems.

Not sure why the fully cut plug would so any better than the hinged plug. Very odd. Nice experiment though.

Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chunking my wood!

Try this - after flipping the plug back over the dirt, plunge your digging tool into the center of the plug and make a decent sized X - this will allow any rain water to stay inside the plug.
No matter how hard you try to replace the plug, it will usually sit higher than the undisturbed ground around it and the water will usually run off to the sides...
