Harry,

There are a lot of lazy people around. Yes, grass seed will grow in the
South just as well but we might have some types of grass that wouldn't
grow up North. I would suggest you go to Lowes or Home Depot and see
what is available. You won't get instant results like with sod but it
will turn out just fine.

I just moved to Florida from Pennsylvania. In PA - we used to till the
ground - rake it out - and plant grass seed. Down here everyone seems to
use sod. When I asked folks about it - they say grass seed does not grow
here. I have lots of land. I have a rototiller. I would like to till the
ground and plant something to prevent erosion. Any advice - the land is
mostly shaded.
