CHEAP LANDSCAPE AND GARDEN BOOKS
Most serious gardeners and do it yourselfers have a large
library of reference. Even if we never read them, it's still
neat to have them.
Here are a couple of links to where you
can expand your own library for practically nothing.
Book close outs has a good assortment of some really neat mix match, discontinued, and out dated landscape and garden books.
These are still great books filled with information on almost
any subject you can think of. Some are as low as $1.99 but
many are limited quantities.

GARDEN TIPS - Surfactants Save Time And Money
=========================================
Here's another "oh geeze Steve, everybody knows that" garden
tip.
Last week as we were spraying some selective herbicide, our
client was curious as to why we put "soap" in our poison mix.
Good question!
But actually, we weren't using "soap". We were using detergent.
A few drops of liquid laundry or dishwashing detergent added to
your liquid fertilizers, insecticides, or herbicides can
actually make them more effective and economical.
The detergent forms a slippery film that spreads out over the
entire plant causing your mix to be distributed more evenly to
all parts of the plant.
There are surfactants you can buy that are made especially for
agricultural purposes. However, we've found that a few drops of
detergent works just as well.
