How much do you know.

Yeah here in NH you must wash and check your boat before going on any body of water to prevent the spread of Milfoil and other things.

In NH we also have that pesky fungus (red thread). That too will cross contaminate from lawn to lawn (with a dirty mower). The only way to avoid it would be a thorough deck scrubbing and then spray deck and blades down with 10% bleach mixture with water to kill the fungus. Once you've got it, well, you have got it. I have chased it for years and now have just accepted it. You can treat it, but the treatment is expensive and only works for a few weeks.

What's the other 8%?

Grass is made up from these basic elements: water, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, carbon and oxygen.

Yes... not test but learn maybe. How are you going to get rid of this new customers weeds and how much time will she give you to do it?

Have not really talked with her about it.
But told her we would eliminate the weeds in the fall as she has fescue grass and we just started the hottest month of the year.

Fescue likes cold so right now if we was to treat it with a post emergent the grass would also take a hard hit.

Around the 3rd week of September I will hit it hard with a post emergent.

Two weeks later I will aerate and overseed as we do every fescue yard the first week of October.

The fescue and the cold will choke out what ever weeds are left.

The last week if February I will have true green come out and spray it.

What happens when your spreading lawn lime, then a rainstorm comes, then the lime goes in runoff into water. What happens to the body of water?

Same thing happens with commercial fertilizers.

This doesn't happen when the lawn is nowhere near a body of water.

I forgot to mention that! I tried to stay away from it for years, And a couple of my mowers have it. I clean them with a bleach-water mixture. It's a hit or miss chance and most of the time you can't avoid it.

But I still wash down all my mowers.

If it is into a pond it will raise the PH and help control green slime.

Nope. three more answers and I'll reveal the correct answer.
