Sod is a kind of grass. Farmers used to live in sod houses. When you want a fast lawn you can use sod instead of seed. The farm west of town is a sod farm. It provides grass for the rest of the city.
It depends on where you are in the world. Grass or sod homes are made from blocks of turf cut out of the ground. The grass ties the sod together so it doesn't crumble when it gets wet. Grass huts are typically made by tying bundles of grass onto a framework of wood. The overlaps make a barrier against most rain.
Igloos, tents and turf huts represent the historic type of home of Greenlandic peoples. Bones, driftwood and furs also show up as building materials. Sod, stone and wood tend to predominate from the eighteenth century onward.
