Introducing UNDER SOD™: The Fertilizer Made to Go Beneath New Sod

For years, as CT Sod grew and delivered sod across the Northeast, our customers kept asking the same question: "What fertilizer do I use for new sod?" There was never a clean answer. Homeowners didn't know what to buy, the pros had their own habits, and the few who found something often had no idea how much to apply — or whether it would burn the sod they'd just paid for.

Now there is an answer. Introducing UNDER SOD™ — the biological starter fertilizer made to go *beneath* new sod.

Why it exists

Most bags on the garden-center shelf are labeled "for seed and sod" — but seed and sod are not the same problem. Seed starts from bare ground and has to build roots from scratch. Sod arrives with a mature root system already grown on the farm; its job in the first few weeks is to *bridge* those roots down into your soil. That contact zone — the few inches of earth directly under the turf — is exactly where most starter products were never designed to work. UNDER SOD™ is built for it.

What it is

UNDER SOD™ is a biological 4-2-5 starter fertilizer — a moderate, low-phosphorus, potassium-forward nutrient charge plus the living soil biology young roots actually use. The biology is the product; the nutrients are just the carrier. Full label details and specs are on the UNDER SOD™ product page.

UNDER SOD™ goes beneath new sod at installation — one 25-pound bag per pallet, mixed into 4–6 inches of soil before finish grade. There is no burn risk when used as directed.

Dead-simple to apply

No measuring, no math: one 25-lb bag covers a 500 sq ft pallet of sod. Ordering four pallets? Use four bags. That is the whole calculation.
