Did you know you can buy [sod] from a retail business at the

me. The only thing I heard is that you have to be careful of
fire ants as it is brought up from South Carolina. I do not

Fire ants are in the Triangle now. It's only a matter of time before
you'll find a colony in your yard. All we can do now is kill 'em as
they appear.
