Also, grass runways cut tire and brake wear WAY down!

I would expect sod strips to be ideal for learning to master landing a
tail-wheeled aircraft.

In checking pilots out in a Pitts, I always had them use the grass first
and get REALLY proficient with the roll out behavior of the airplane
before sending them on to a hard surface. Grass was MADE for a Pitts! :-))
