Chick-Fil-A lovin'
My favorite fast food restaurant, Chick-fil-A. Not only because their food is tasty but because their customer service is superb. You go through their drive through and immediately the worker is delighted to be serving you because it's "My Pleasure". This resturant has definitely had an impact on me personally, why you ask, why are you writing this on a lawn care blog. Great questions! It's because Chic-fil-A can teach us valuable lessons on how we treat our lawn care customers. Although we aren't serving them food, we are providing excellent lawn cares. We want to strive to put our customers first, just as chic-fil-a does!

The Dollar Store!
Good afternoon
Ahhhhh the dollar store, everything's only a buck. Which means you can take advantage of the good deals. We stopped by our local dollar tree and picked up some items. Sometimes there is no need to get fancy tools from Lowe's or Home Depot when you're on a tight budget. Yes, we understand that you get what you pay for...but if something breaks at least you will be able to sleep at night knowing it was just a measly dollar.
We picked up gardening gloves, they were made pretty well for only a dollar. They came in many different colors and patterns. So that means we can pull some weeds by hand while getting exercise. Next, in the gardening section they had flower pots. There was clay, plastic, stoneware etc. Although we did not have a need for them at the time, it is still a great deal if you are potting house plants. We saw that they had a collection of pruning tools as well (my fav). I would use them more for home plants or small branches.
What i found neat was they had colorful knee pads for when you're kneeling down and it provides a cushion. They came in purple, green and blue! We came across the gardening tool collection that includes a cultivator, trowel and transplanter SO cool. In the past we have purchased flower seeds from the dollar store.But, we have yet to try them out - so if anyone has purchased flower seeds from the dollar store , how do you like them??
We are excited to try out our dollar store items!

It is essential to maintain a healthy pH for your lawns. A pH scale ranges from 0-14, acidic to alkaline, or sour to sweet as we like to say! 6.0 - 6.8 is a great pH for most lawns. We usually recommend a slightly acidic pH measure. Be careful not to waste time and money on fertilizer because you may not need it if your lawn is not in proper health.
pH measures the amount of hydrogen (H+). The more hydrogen present the more acidic. The best way to test your pH, is with a pH measure. You can purchase a digital reader or a test kit. The test kit will usually be more inexpensive as compared to a electronic digital reader. We suggest the brand Luster Leaf Rapitest Soil Test Kit.
Now that you have taken the time to check out this post, we hope you continue your research. There is always plenty more to learn. Have at it and enjoy your green lawn!
