and constant [time release] fertilizing and pesticides. Sod is for
those who have no patience and have more dollars than brain cells.
Sod can't compete with a seededlawn.

Balderdash.

Yes, of course but the really amazing thing to me is that Sheldon always
goes after the poster of a question with hammer and tongs. Posing as
superior is more important to Sheldon than answering the question in a
civilized manner. Which leads most to conclude that Sheldon is an anal
sphincter with keyboard skills.

Sod requires less work. However, it does require more water. Instant
lawn, which is what most people want. But it's just not that simple.
If you are selling your home and want to fool the buyer, plant sod.

Note to would be home buyers: Lift the sod and get a soil test.
Chances are, if it's new sod, you will be able to lift it. If you
can, the seller is trying to make his/her home more attractive. Dig
deeper. If the lawn is a mess or hasn't been cared for, the rest of
the home hasn't been maintained either.

However, seed or sod, the annual maintenace is pretty much the same.
