Jim Zamzow’s Lawn Care Tip 3

Dec
Jim Zamzow talks about how to properly water your lawn. Lawns in South West Idaho share a lot of qualities with other areas that have hard, compact clay soils. Watering your lawn properly will help ensure that you won’t get fungus, insects, or disease. The only way to know if you are properly watering your lawn is to measure with a straight sided can. Place the cans in various parts of your lawn. Time your sprinklers to see how long it will take to collect a 1/2 inch of water in the can. When it comes to mowing lawns in the heat of summer, you want to adjust your lawn mower to its highest setting or about 4 1/2 inches in height. This taller height will help keep the moisture in the soil.

This week, NH Outlook looks at the chemistry of lawn care. As winter wears on, many turn their thoughts to spring and the prospects for a healthy garden and lawn. But an increasing number of homeowners are concerned about a toxic reliance on lawn herbicides and pesticides. They want to follow the example of other communities which have banned those substances or least studied the issue. Our guests include Paul Tukey who made the documentary A Chemical Reaction; NH Agriculture Commissioner Lorraine Merrill and Rep. Suzanne Smith, sponsor of a bill being heard this week that would establish a study committee on banning lawn care chemicals.

www.gopherforum.com – Why is my lawn care business marketing not working? When you are getting your lawn care business started and you dont have many personal contacts, the situation can be rough. Lets take a look at what our friend and fellow Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum member did to go from getting no return calls to many. Scott wrote So my flyers & business cards have been sent out all over, a lot of my cards need to be restocked in stores because they are almost all gone. Yet I have gotten no calls. I only have a few days left, I can only do so much. Im mass producing flyers again & plan to send them out to the other areas of my starter city. I myself have walked door to door handing out 7000 flyers & Im losing it! I dont wanna be out for weeks with these flyers so Im gonna just start asap without stopping until they are all out! Ill give you guys some amateur shots of my flyer & card, you can tell me what the hell Im doing wrong. Steve You are doing a fantastic job. What you are doing with your flyers and business cards is good, however, you will find more success selling people to people. Selling to those you know or those that know you. Have you considered picking up the phone and try to sell to people who are existing customers or people you know? The next what you can do is work the neighbors of your customers. Tell them you are services Mr. Jones lawn and you would like to service theirs too. Scott: Alright, so I decided to confront my snow removal customers …
