This is Video 1 of my series on how to build a masonry firepit, paver patio, and masonry retaining wall. In my world, it all began with removing grass/sod from my back yard, and trying to figure out how to dispose of these heavy and voluminous chunks of grass and dirt. In this video, I teach you how to cut sod and get the dirt off, so you can conserve your dirt for the garden, and throw away light-weight, dried-out clods of sod. Things get a little more technical from here girlscouts, so enjoy this simple tip for Whackin' Yer Sod Clods!
