Lay sod properly. Prior to laying the sod, prepare your soil. Pull any weeds and break up any clods of soil. Compact the soil lightly and firmly, and be sure to create a flat surface. Dampen the soil completely. Staggered rows with offset joints is the best way for the sod to be laid out. Make sure that the sod forms an even, flat surface, and if you have any gaps show between the sod, fill them with a little bit of soil. Water the sod every day for a couple of weeks.

In this environment, the CO2 levels are kept high so the plants can experience optimal growing conditions.
