I bought 20 pieces of st.augustine palmetto sod from home depot to repair an area in my yard. It was yellow with a little light green and a little straw in it, but the majority was yellow. I started not to but it but the manager of home depots lawn and garden department said it was fine and would green up in about a week maybe two at the most. so i bought it and laid it.what i would like to know is the home depot guy telling me the truth and if so should i fertilize or something to help it out. I live in central florida and have been wattering the sod 3 times daily with a water hose. not running spriklers because we have had alot of rain lately and yard needs time to dry out.

Sod bought from Home Depot has probably been sitting on the pallet for a couple days.Give it time, it will green back up.
