WISHBONE'S TIPS AND HOUSEHOLD HINTS:

Wishbone isn't ready to relinquish any of his duties as CEO of...well...everything but he is willing to introduce you to a new member of the Salmon Family.  Welcome to Wishbone's possible future apprentice Maxine.  How cute are they?!

     

And now, Wishbone has work to do and here is his 'Wishbone Approved' Monthly Tip Article:

Wishbone likes playing in the grass almost as much as he likes nap time.  However, being a little guy, he really hates when the grass is too long and he gets lost in a mass of green.  He also hates when the grass is too short. And brown.  And has bare spots.  Wishbone is quite particular about grass.  

We've turned to the Cornell University for lawn care tips because, well, Wishbone is the boss and that's what he told us to do.  

1.   Dull mower blades increase fuel use by up to 20% and shred the tips of grass blades. At the start of the season, consider taking your mower in for a tune up and blade sharpening.
2.   Lawns cut lower than 3 to 3.5 inches will require more fertilizer and water.
3.   Grass blades are mostly water and nutrients. Leaving cut blades in place lowers fertilizer needs.
4.   If there is an empty space in your lawn, weeds will more rapidly invade it. Fill bare spots using a seed mixture of perennial rye grass.
5.   If your lawn is thick with a dense cover of desirable grass that grows vigorously, do not apply spring feed (fertilizer).  The lawn is getting enough nutrients released from the soil, grass clippings and a late season feeding.

Wishbone would like to remind you that there are 2 easy solutions to 2 common lawn care problems.  First, you need good equipment and the only place to get very best lawn mowers is at Brodner Equipment of course.  Second, and this one is for people who prefer not to deal with their lawns...John Welch Enterprise Inc. will take care of ALL your lawn care needs including mowing!

Every season has its own set of nuisance insects or rodents.  Most come and go with the seasons but while they're 'in season' they can be not just an annoyance but a problem.  Carpenter ants, for example, can cause unbelievable destruction.  It's great to call an exterminator when you discover you have a problem but it's even better to call an exterminator proactively...before the problem arises.  RCD Exterminating will inspect your home for pests and with spring upon us it's a wise decision to make!  Call RCD Exterminating today!

Say Goodbye to Bed Bugs, Bees & Wasps, Carpenter Ants, Cockroaches, House Flies, Mice & Rodents and Spiders!

We share our recommendations with you generously.  We post them on our website.  We post them on our facebook page. We add them here in our newsletter.  It may seem that we 'push' our recommendations on you, and maybe we do, but with good reason.  We don't want to see anyone taken advantage of.  We don't want to see anyone spend money on a product that doesn't work or hand money to a contractor that doesn't do what they should.

Check out what Dylan says about his Metal Roof after 81 mph hurricane force winds ripped through the Rochester area on The Metal Roof Outlet's Facebook Page

If you are unable to see the full page here is what was posted by a satisfied client of theirs:

"You guys did my house a year ago. Our neighborhood got decimated by the windstorm. Not a single scratch on the batten installed metal roof. It also fixed my ice dam issue, no icicles at all this year. Also helped with heating." Dylan T.

 

 

 

This is why we recommend select contractors!
