Break the soil into fine tilth and make sure you remove any weeds as well. Lightly, but firmly pack the soil down, and make sure that it is flat. Be sure the soil is thoroughly moist. You want the sod laid down in staggered rows, and the joints to be offset from each other. Compact the sod down so you form a flat and even surface, then fill in any crevices within the sod by using some soil. You will have to water the sod every day for 2 weeks, and then it should be firmly rooted to the ground, and able to be walked on. Starting a garden with the best soil is a great defense mechanism against pests. Healthy and well-nourished plants will be hardier and therefore better able to prevent pests from taking hold. For the most vigorous and healthy plants, start with high-quality soil, and stay away from chemicals. These can accumulate salts over time. When gardening, beware of stink bugs and other insects, particularly in the autumn. They like fruits, as well as peppers, beans and tomatoes.
