I enjoy gardening more than anything. I (and my husband) take all the credit for our garden and grounds. As we are getting a wee bit older, with less strength and stamina, we have hired a company to apply chemicals and fertilizers on a scheduled basis. I may be dreaming, but I believe that it probably isn't costing a lot more to let the company do it than if we purchased the stuff and tried to do it ourselves in our mature garden. They go on a schedule and they have powerful hoses and pumps. They keep the grass healthy, the diseases and pests under control, and the fire ants gone. So far, I have had a good experience with this arrangement. I still have more to do than I can get done. Do any of you gardeners have these services? What are your comments.
