I'm knockin around the walls here. Anyone going to the NSLGA conference/show at the Nassua Coliseum on March 4? It's my last chance to look at which blower, edger, hedge trimmer and WB I will buy right after the show.

[Whitey4]

By the way, if you do go to the conference, I'm a clean shaven 50 year old Irish lookin guy wearing a brown leather jacket and jeans with white hair and average build, a bit on the short side... like 5'9". It would be interesting to meet anyone from the site. I plan on picking up 3 credit hours in the sessions. The rest of the time I'll be on the floor handling equipment! Yeeha!

Bump for the NSLGA conference at the Nassau Coliseum on Tues., March 4. Anyone besides me and Sal going?

Which one? There's like a gazillion of them going for the next two weeks! But no, I didn't. I was at home doing pH tests!

It’s too early for lime.:waving:

[Whitey4]

It’s too early for lime.:waving:

Actually, I disagree. Show me a lawn with a soil pH of 5.5, and I'm putting lime on it as soon as I can (when the ground is beyond risk of freezing). I do my pH testing now for my annual quotes. I try to talk my customers into watching me do it on site. Once I make that offer, they always pass. It builds trust right up front.

I also use an expensive pH meter. I even carry a RapidTest cheapo with me to show them how it only measures the pH of the water you used to make a slurry. I measure the water, make a slurry, measure again... same reading.

Then I get my good instument... and show them how it all works. I even carry some lemon juice to demonstrate.... but once I tell my customers what I will do, they never want to witness the test. They know 1) I am not a rip off artist, and 2) am worthy of their trust and 3) know what I am doing.

While this is a sales technique, it isn't a bunch of BS either. I AM worthy of their trust.... and they know it. Then, when I suggest a fall over seeding, most just say do it. I don't even have to quote it out first most of the time.

It's simple.... I treat their properties the same way I do my own.

Well, that was quite the soapbox lecture, wasn't it? I'd better lay off the vino, or I'll miss a lecture I want to catch tomorrow morning!

Lime takes 6 months to move 1" down through the soil profile. It's never too early or late for lime. You limey bastages!

[NCBD]

any of you guys have a website to check out your services/work?

[paponte]

Hey Jeff, I'm still waiting for my check so I can pack up my bags and retire already. :laugh:

Anyways, if you guys ever have any large mulch jobs and need a blower... shoot me an email. I have some good deals on mulch/topsoil and will take care of you on blower charges.
