sprigging

Inserting grass runners

Sprigging is the practice of planting sprigs—small rooted sections of grass—to establish a lawn or turf.

Unlike seeding or sodding, sprigging involves inserting individual plant pieces into prepared soil: The golf course used sprigging to establish the bermudagrass greens.

In ceramics, sprigging is attaching small molded decorations to pottery before firing.
