Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the sod industry, stating that "nationwide production of sod [in the United States] has increased from 218,161 acres per year in 1992 to more than 386,000 acres in 2002." Details potential advantages and disadvantages of sod, including a high cost and "fewer callbacks than seeding."
