Tru Green irritates me sometimes.

What is this "lawn" thing you guys speak of?? I spray agent orange all over the rocks in the yard about once a year. Done.

I just do not care about the lawn. I spend so much time in the garden, the only attention I ever give the lawn is that I mow it every 10 days (to keep the mosquito population down) and edge (which takes minutes). The whole damn thing could die off and I'd be just fine with it.

A lady that works in my department used another lawn care service - she enjoyed them, but they got rather costly (~$40 - $50 a month?). I'll try to find out who they were.

It is very necessary to check the soil nature(whether it is acidic or basic)

so pH of the soil is to be tested carefully.....

How would I go about testing the PH of my soil?

If you need stuff for your grass, try Zamzow's (www.zamzows.com). They are based out of the Boise area, but offer some fantastic stuff for lawn care. I use their line of products and its taken my grass from almost dead to a rich dark green.

The Tru-Green guys don't come round my place ..... I think it was my marathon weapons cleaning session in my garage while smoking a Casa Magna in July while I was home. I only get one chance a year while I'm home from the sandbox.

I think the cigar is what did it.
