How can I make my lawn mowing business better?

Question by Rebelboy: How can I make my lawn mowing business better?
I have friends helping me. It was my first day today and I got no one who wanted me and my friends to cut their grass. We have tried doing it for , we have tried cutting it for what they can give me but nothing seems to work. We use a old push-pull lawn mover. What are we doing wrong? Also, we went to like every house on our block.

Best answer:

Answer by Waaahg
Don’t use a push-pull lawn mower. Also, try to be as friendly as you can be to your neighbors. You can also try not naming a price, instead let the neighbor decide the price. Hope your business goes well!

Is planting grass seed illegal in Clark County, NV?

Question by Katherine Y: Is planting grass seed illegal in Clark County, NV?

Best answer:

Answer by ANGEL
Planting lawn grass is not illegal in Clark County, NV.

The big concern is about lawns contributing to urban runoff pollution from over-fertilization, overwatering, over-application of pesticides, & direct disposal of lawn clippings.

What is encouraged is lawn conservation, grass selection, minimizing fertilizer & pesticides, weed control tolerance, sensible irrigation, composting grass clippings, choosing grass that lower maintenance & disease & pest resistant, etc.

Since grass is a labor intensive & water-hungry landscaping plants, compared to other plants, it’s advised that people should try to replace grass with other plants in areas that are practicle to do so.

no bad grammer that’s how it should look it’s a code and the purpose of codes s to confuse people duh! so everything makes sense…..if you figure it out and you…..failed…..miserably
okay let me explain these are codes meant to trick people who glnce at them into thinking it’s a normal message with bad grammer
what i’m going for is this
ex i’ll do the first one for you

the flower grows green,it enemy is sun,growth stunted, green new here,blooming strong

remove all the words that are related to plants
and you get

the enemy is here,strong

get it? there is no theme it’s a bunch of coded messages and you have to find the message hidden in the writing
it’s not related to the other ones either
it’s just under eachother with the difficulty of decoding the message increasing
p.s you only think i’m a child becuase i left you clueless it’s basic coding during world war II you’d think we’d have people break at least the first code sheesh
