When I cut a bog, by hand. It's 8 sods wide, and two sods deep. The top scraw is carefully removed, and place in the old cut, side by side, so it will continue to grow into its self again. No damage.
Just layerd.
When I'm, and many others are finished, you'd have to really look to see where the cutting to place, no damage, and all grows into its self again
