Last week at Farmers' Market, Forrest and I passed by a sod merchant's booth. We joked about how it'd be funny if Forrest covered his work desk with sod, in an attempt to out-do my Microsoft mentor's orange shag desk cover.
I stopped at the booth and asked the vendor how much the sod was. He wanted to know how many square feet we were looking at. We laughed and explained our weird idea. They actually thought it was amusing too, and offered us a free patch.
But then it didn't get quite enough light in Forrest's office (surprise!). The two patches are now sitting outside the apartment, probably dying a slow death.
Sod roofs are typical of the Faroe Islands. Traditionally the roof is covered with sod on top of several layers of birch bark over gently sloping wooden roof boards. However, modern turf roofs often use a type of commercial roofing felt underneath the sod. Sod is also an effective insulator in a cold climate. Typically, a sod roof will last about 10 or more years before it has to be replaced. Some residents actually mow their roofs to keep them looking good.
I had a pint of this dark beer at Wetherspoons in Maindee, Newport during the current Beer Festival.
Cost £1.89 which is pretty good.
It is brewed by Banks & Taylor of Shefford, Bedfordshire.
SOD stands for Shefford Old Dark which refers to the style of the beer which I suppose is something like a strong, dark mild.
The sod was especially bright after a brief shower on Christmas Day.

The sod was laid in a matter of hours! But remember, this rear yard has no irrigation system. Never needed one. So Client has been advised (numerous times) that he will need to water the sod. We set him up with an email reminder system for the first few weeks & stopped by every few days to check on it.
