Hello Frank, he's using googles interface. I think there is an option
to show quoted text while using their web reader but i'm not sure how
it's done.

Oh well. So hey Mope, how did you build your client list? Did you
start from scratch, advertising, word of mouth.....?

I started out working for someone, and then went on my own. It takes all
of the above as well as doing a good job at a competitive price. I
wouldn't want to be starting out now tho...too many people have jumped
on the bandwagon and are cutting each others throats with their prices.

So I've noticed. Some claim to be the cheapest while others are price
gougers. But few around here do quality work -- most of them I call
"slash-n-dash" services. I'm thinking that quality at a -reasonable-
price might make the difference around here. Got a favorite chemical
mix? I've been using Lilly Miller's Weed-n-Feed and it does ok. My
uncle used to swear by it. Is there something better?

I mix my own broadleaf herbicide, I buy the components in bulk. Unless you
have lots of weeds a blanket herbicide application like weed and feed isn't
required since it has no pre-emergent value, it only controls existing
weeds.


So what's a good pre-emergent broadleaf herbicide?


Weed b gone liquid and a pump up or hose end sprayer will allow you to
target your pesticide application to just the weedy areas. It also works
better than granular herbicide on the hard to kills like oxalis, spurge,
sorrel etc.


The biggest problem around here is clover -- whole yards full of it.
Personally, I like it better than grass, but then I'm wierd. I'll try
a broadleaf spray and reseed.

And before I crash, I just have to jump on the soapbox for a
moment.... I can't believe that there is so much hatred for the
Dandelion! It's not just edible but every part is edible, and not too
bad if cooked up right. My biggest gripe is that such a common weed is
detested even though it has been proven to actually -improve- the
overall functions of the circulatory system -without- side effects,
and -without- a prescription. And it makes a pretty decent decaf
latte. If there's proof that God really exists, it might just be the
Dandelion -- yet we exterminate it as an offensive weed. Kind of
ironic how history repeats itself..... end soapbox.
