Properly put down your sod. Be sure to get your soil prepared before you start laying the new sod. Get rid of weeds and tilth the soil finely. Lightly, but firmly compress the soil, making certain it is flat. Make sure you work with a moist soil. Then lay the sod in staggered rows so the joints are offset. Firm sod until there is an even, flat surface; fill in gaps with soil. Your sod should be watered everyday for at least two weeks, then it will root itself and walk on it.
Be sure to do some weeding on a regular basis. Weeds can destroy a once promising garden and take away all its potential. For this task, try using white vinegar. White vinegar can not only kill the weeds, it’s also a non-toxic spray that won’t harm pets or people. So, if weed pulling is tiring you out, spray a white vinegar solution all over them.
Grow some wheat grass or catnip for your cat to eat instead. You could also place something that will cause your cat to go away from your plants, such as citrus peels or mothballs.
