I think we should see how many guys we get on here by March, and then set up a date to have a lawnsite day!

Took my applicator test with M+L this past winter and it was such a joke but its great to have

They give you all the books to study from when you go there but most of the info is from what they tell you

Cant tell if thats sarcasm but I honestly wouldn't go wasting money on study material cause its not that hard and they tell you everything and only a tad bit comes from the actual book they give you
