What\'s a good Program

[pcs]

I was just wondering how you get grass so green and with no weeds? What's a good program that I can offer to my customers.

hhhmmm.... where do I start... I use granular fertilizers and liquid herbicides. Seem you need to read up on this before you apply any chemicals to customers lawns. There are strict laws pertaining to pesticide application.

Regular fertilization and water. I don.t do chemicals so I stick to the theory that if you get the grass to grow to it.s potential you will crowd out a large percentage of the weeds. Do a search on the type of grass you have there and see what the Universities recommend for fertilization.

Not a great believer in specified programs as each
lawn is different w different needs.Thats where the
booklarnin ends an the knowledge from experience begins.
That may sound a little snug,but there are some who can tell more in 5min than other LCOs can after 6 months.
I know this to be the case cause I meet one every now and then.
