3
For some people, the road to immediate satisfaction is laid with sod.
4
A piece of sod has grass on the top and soil on the bottom.
5
It can provide thick green grass without the work or weight required to grow a lawn from seed.
6
Some property owners are replacing grass with ground covers that require less care and water,
7
but others want a traditional grass lawn.
8
Sod or turf might not seem like a farm crop,
9
but farmers grow it around the world for everything from homes to sports fields.
10
Sod farmers often grow different grasses for different conditions.
11
Farmers must cut, fertilize, and water the sod often.
12
The crop may not be ready for up to two years.
13
Farmers harvest it in pieces of various lengths and up to one meter wide.
14
Making the best sod takes work.
15
Preparing the ground to lay sod is important and may require changes to the soil.
16
David Robson from the University of Illinois Extension says,
17
the best results come from moist, richly organic black soil.
18
He says that is because the farmer used rich soil to produce the sod,
19
so it might not do well in clay soils.
20
Some gardeners prepare an area by removing the existing topsoil and grass.
21
This can be done with a shovel,
22
hoe, or sod cutter machine.
23
But live roots or weeds might remain below the surface.
24
Another preparation method is to till the ground completely.
25
Still another involves using an herbicide chemical to kill the existing grass.
26
Sod can also be placed over existing grass.
27
The grass will die and become fertilizer for the sod.
28
After sod is in place,
29
it needs to be pressed down firmly.
30
This will remove air pockets and help the sod make contact with the ground and take root.
31
A water filled drum called a sod can be used.
32
Sod can grow at times and in places where growing grass from seed is difficult.
33
But sod can also have problems,
34
especially if it was not very fresh.
35
Newly laid sod needs water, lots of water.
36
It can quickly become dry.
37
It will need water two times a day for at least three months.
38
Sod should also be fertilized,
39
and it should be treated with limestone if the soil is acidic.
40
Sod can be cut to fit a space.
41
But small pieces should not be placed along the edges of
42
an area the edges of an area as they can dry out more quickly.
43
You can find other advice online.
44
For example, we learned that sod should not be placed so that the ends of the pieces are all in a line.
45
Instead, it should look like a brick pattern on a building.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
