Abstract
A tool for cutting hexagon turf plugs has a base secured to upright legs and a hexagon-shaped cutter. A handle is attached to the legs to facilitate moving the cutter into turf to cut a turf plug. Wedge members secured to the inside of the cutter retain a cut turf plug within the cutter. Rods and a ring attached to the base and legs cooperate with the legs and wedge members to hold stacked cut turf plugs on the tool.
