Any suggestions about offering granular fertilizer?

[Freddy_Kruger]

I will likely put in my ads "-Fertilizer" even though I know little about it.

You walk around with a spreader, first practicing on your own lawn ofcourse.

So I would like to know if I can buy fertlizer in bulk somewhere, home depot only has, I think they were 15lbs bags of something.

I just need some advice about buying a local supplier (please don't say Lesco), types to use (I live in Central Canada), and any more info you might be able offer this as a sideline to lawn care ie. types of spreaders, amount of fertilizer, is it ok to use home depot product.

I've also read about weed apps that are granular info on that would be welcome as well.:waving: :canadaflag:

[stumper1620]

Well, I don't know canadian law, but I would guess the Libs up there are pretty strict about the environmental impacts of inexperianced applicators, My recommendation is you really need to learn what you should know before even thinking of doing this. get some books and study, then you can go get certified before you try doing something you haven't got a clue about.
I'm sure Kris could chime in here and tell you more about the laws in your country, but I can tell you this. If you were in this country everything you mentioned is against the law for you to do with out the proper knowledge, training, certifications, licenses and insurance.

[Freddy_Kruger]

Nope, I just phoned the city. I don't need to be licsensed So can I get some of my questions answered?

As for training, I don't think I need to go to school to learn how to apply granualar fertilizer and as for getting books, I gave up on lawn care books when I found this forum.

[NattyLawn]

Are you serious?

So you know nothing about fert and the application of it but we're supposed to give you all the answers...

Are you serious?

Yes I am. And if you think walking around with a spreader is Brain Surgery then you Must be Juthro Bodene.

Cities are not the ones who would have a say in this, this would probably be a issue for the environmental depts. or possibly the natural resources department. I really don't know the depts. canada has, but I really doubt that they have no regulations as far as fert and pest applications are concerned.
sorry, I will not advise on how to do something you really show no knowledge about, If you think all fertilizing is, is just pushing a spreader, you really are clueless about any aspect of the business.

[StBalor]

Stumper, what books do you suggest. I would like to read up on this a little and maybe get certified in the future

[Freddy_Kruger]

How about you just don't post. For the most part granualar fert IS just pushing a spreader any Home Owener can do it. If You don't know that you don't know ****!
Again, are there any helpful posters in the forum?

I think I should repost this in the commercial mowing section, much more helpful there.

[Freddy_Kruger]

Now that's the kind of question Stumper would like. He can just google the answer and copy/paste the result, then he can pretend he's GenuuuINe Brain Surgeon.. I mean fertilizer scientist. lol.

Hey, easy there killer.

Canada is pushing crazy laws banning all pesticides because guys like you think you can go to home depot buy a bag of anything and just push a spreader around to make a buck.

Yes, any idiot can push a spreader. My customers hire my service because of my knowledge of how to maintain a safe and healthy lawn. And there is far more to that than "pushing a spreader around".

You can't expect to come on this site and glean information from people who have college degrees and years upon years of experience. Especially when you admit that you won't pick up a book to learn on your own because you found lawnsite

The only thing you learn from spoon feeding is the shape of the spoon. Come back when you are willling to do a little leg work on your own to learn this end of the industry.

Have you compared lawn care books to the info on this web site? I don't think you have read a book yourself in fact if it wasn't for the fact that your typing, I would think that you couldn't read at all judging by your post.

Firstly,You need the spreader set up properly.I will give you tips which will achieve results that will leave your customers breathless.

Tip-1 Despite what the label recommends, set your spreader at three times the recommended rate.

Tip-2 You need to get an even uniform distribution of the fertilizer, this is achieved by using deliberation, walk one step at a time, slowlyyyy, and deliberately.

Tip-3 When you come to an end of a pass, stop and wait 30 seconds before make a turn,take your time making the turns, always leaving the spreader engaged.

Tip-4 If your have product in the spreader after completing an application on a customer's lawn, just pour it out in a pile on the customer's drive, it will work it way into the lawn.

Freddy,

You are giving people the wrong impression of Canadians. This site is for legitimate questions. Ask a real question and you will get a real answer, but if you want to sit back and relax and wait for the rest of the industry to tell you how to do things, then, Freddy, you are sadly mistaken, and should take your concerns elsewhere.

[dkeisala]

Oh come on, spreading fertilizer isn't rocket science. With that said, I did manage to fry a lawn years ago when I was just starting out. It was an expensive mistake and no better way to p!ss off a client. I was terrified of the stuff for a while after that.

In Washington, we don't need licensing (yet) for fert or lime apps but we do for any pesticide which covers anything from Roundup to moss control to grub control and everything else in between.

Ok, you want info on granular apps, here it is:

In Alberta (maybe manitoba as well), there are no special licenses needed, there is no need to be certified as the government here does not recognize fertilizer as a pesticide. Once you start to apply herbicides, fungicides, etc, a pesticide applicator's certificate is required (more info will be available on your province's website).

Granular applications require less time to apply than liquid applications, but require that the applicator has a solid knowledge of how-to-apply. Many a lawn has been burned because of poor applications.

If you would like to know more, just ask.

[Freddy_Kruger]

I hope this "Freddy" does not come to my neck of the woods, cause he would be shut down quickly, alberta does not tolerate people who believe that they are above the system.
I was asking about Cash jobs because I am always on site now but when I expand into lawn care I won't be (if I get enough work). In that thread some worth while poster, like the majority of lawnsite.com are, said that he doesn't accept cash anymore because he didn't want his employees collecting cash.
I also learned that maybe mailing the bills to the customer by the 20th and have "due on the 1st" is another great Idea. I have always dropped off the bills myself. This month its not snowing I just had to drive all over the place dropping off bills. My time and Gas > stamps. That Cash thread was a great thread. This one isn't I think that is due to wanna be's taking deep breaths while they apply Pesticide.

I know you don't need a license for Granular fert. (well at least 90% sure) For the Pesticides, if I do that it won't be till next year and I will take a course at assinboine college (just so I can put that on my flyer). In fact I wish I had time to take the course now...

I'm expanding into lawn mowing basically. I will also buy a power raker to offer spring clean up. All I was doing was trynig to get some advice on using a spreader with granular fertilizer.

[SodKing]

So....lets see....you insult us, the licensed degreed pesticide applicators, and want our advise in return? Good luck.

I will also point out that you said you wanted info on "weed apps that are granular". Here you clearly do not differentiate between a pesticide app and fertilizer.

Treating a lawn is not just following the spreader around all day. You have to properly diagnose the pest problem (that means you need to know the hundreds of things that can affect a lawns health), read the label (to know at which rate to apply the product), calibrate your spreader, treat in a proper fashion so as apply an even amount over the entire lawn, post the lawn (which Manitoba has regulations for) and advise your clients as to the proper re-entry interval and after application care.

So for advise.....read the books your Ministry of agriculture gives you to study for your pesticide certificate and then come back here and tell us how you did.

Oh, by the way I am a scientist or Plant Biologist to be more specific.

eh?

[Freddy_Kruger]

So....lets see....you insult us, the licensed degreed pesticide applicators, and want our advise in return? Good luck
Well I read your first sentence so I don't need to read the rest of your drivel. If YOU would have read the thread you would have realized that I was merely responding to insults directed at me.

But I did learn something from this thread and that is that people in the spraying business seemed to be very defensesive and would rather stunt a new company's growth rather than answer some simple questions. That and judging the average intelligence of the posters in this thread, I think I will easily grab market share next year when I get a spray truck or two.:cool2:
I got this feeling that the hostility I have experienced in this thread will manifest in real life next year with all these weed franchises we got here over charging customers.:canadaflag:

eh?
Why did you say that? eh?
As for all the hundreds of things you say you know, I don't want to learn this year maybe next winter, maybe this year, I'm not sure. But for this spring all I want is to be able to put fertilizer on a customers property at their request, I won't be actively selling it though it will be on my website and adverts, with some confidence that I'm not wrecking their lawn. I've made this obvious. What is also obvious is the lack of quality control in american "Fertilizer College" education they should have higher prerequesites than a Grade 6 education.

[NattyLawn]

The reason we say what we say is we don't need any more idiots in the industry that think pushing a spreader is easy and that anyone can do it. We want to get away from that "lawnboy" image and people like you that think it's an overnight thing HURT THE WHOLE INUDUSTRY. I really don't want a reply. To me, you look like an idiot that wants to start his business in as little time as possible. You have 230 posts in 2 weeks and you call the rest of us trolls. F*!K YOU!

I never called anybody a troll, I said your Idiot's. Since you can't seem to distinguish between the two words...I'm right:hammerhead:

Before I joined the forum I was reading books, I have eleven or 12 of them and was searching around for info on lawn care. When I started reading on lawnsite.com all the books became irrelevent. I've been reading on this site for 4-6 hours a day trying to learn as much as I can and it's a good thing the people in the 'Starting in business' and 'commercial lawn mowing' forums are more helpful than you and your trolls.
Having had a very very positive response in the other forums this one, "the Pesticide Boys Club" makes me wonder. I feel like I wandered into a self help group tourette syndrome or something. Lol, don't take this the wrong way I've always loved the Circus. Clowns are so Funny.:laugh:

and I'll tell you another thing, a mediocre plan vigorously executed is better than a great plan where nothing ever gets done. In other words, I don't need to know everything.

how foolish of me.
Hey Ice broker I would also like to apologize I read your other post and now I know you don't even have a spreader I understand you will be spreading out fertilizer by hand. I also understand you support illegals and are probably mexican yourself, I think that spreading out fert by hand will be right up your alley.:canadaflag:

Freddy, you are right, there are a lot of fakers on this forum. More than a few that dont know their arse from a hole in the ground. Problem is, your attitude insures that those that do know what they are talking about, aint going to help you. Its not because they dont want to help someone get started in this business, its because they dont have the time to put up with smart a$$es like you. You have read 11 or 12 books and think lawn site gives better information. comeon, sure there is a lot of information on lawnsite, but most of it comes from books. Experience is one thing you cant get from a book. That is where lawnsite can help you, with the proper atitude the experienced people here can answer some of your questions, but not if you piss them all off first. I dont know any of the people you are argueing with, I cant vouch for their level of knowledge or experience, but I can guarantee that those that do know wont waste time on someone that showes your contemp for the industry they make their living with.

As for training, I don't think I need to go to school to learn how to apply granualar fertilizer and as for getting books, I gave up on lawn care books when I found this forum.

Rap I must say is a very intellactual "spelling lol" and difficult form of music. It not only gets deep down into your "real being," but it also is great for mental stress and therapy. Say what you want, but if you listen carefully to real MC's you may realize that much of what they say you can indeed relate to yet never knew how to word it. To me rap has always been a great way to get together and speak our minds, speak of what we see and what life has delt us, but enough of the rap.............

AS FAR AS FREDDY KRUGER GO FINGER YOURSELF WITH YOUR RAZOR HANDS AND DISAPEAR FROM THIS SITE! Your a disgrace to the industry and will only make a fool out of your self once your start selling customers unless there as pathetic as YOU! I hope you choke on granuels and never get your hands on a spreader to prevent serious dammage to the earths soil food web and ground water reserviour's. LET ME ASK YOU THIS FREDDY LOSER, HOW DOES A FERTILIZER WORK? WHAT DOES A FERTILIZER FEED? ALSO, WHAT DOES HERBICIDE DO TO THE GROUND? WHAT KINDA RESIDUES DOES IT LEAVE THAT WILL NEVER WASH OUT OF THE SOIL? Ur so arrogant its disgusting and people like you I would use to drain my compost tank when I'm finished!:usflag:

Tip-3 When you come to an end of a pass, stop and wait 30 seconds before make a turn,take your time making the turns, always leaving the spreader engaged.

Tip-4 If your have product in the spreader after completing an application on a customer's lawn, just pour it out in a pile on the customer's drive, it will work it way into the lawn.
You forgot to tell him to spray 1 gal.per weed when spot Treating

Hello Mr. Kruger- You can have some success contacting one of Canada's premier fertilizer companies at http://www.nu-groturf.com/. They can point you in the right direction. Another consideration is to hire an application firm proficient in applying the correct product at the right time/rate/etc. Good luck.

I will likely put in my ads "-Fertilizer" even though I know little about it.

You walk around with a spreader, first practicing on your own lawn ofcourse.

So I would like to know if I can buy fertlizer in bulk somewhere, home depot only has, I think they were 15lbs bags of something.

I just need some advice about buying a local supplier (please don't say Lesco), types to use (I live in Central Canada), and any more info you might be able offer this as a sideline to lawn care ie. types of spreaders, amount of fertilizer, is it ok to use home depot product.

I've also read about weed apps that are granular info on that would be welcome as well.:waving: :canadaflag:

Did you even read my original Post? If so what was not legitamate about that?

Don't tell what a Canadian really is.:usflag: We are just americans that prefer hockey to baseball. Plus we are grossly over taxed.

Come on, Canada is like a loft appartment above a really great party. Just because you can hear the music doesn't mean you are actually AT the party. Nice try.
