No I didn't and that's probably the reason it's not growing. I
usually read the instructions but this time I didn't. If I saw that
they had said that I wouldn't have bought the product and opted for
a regular good spring mixture without week killer. i don't even have
many weeds.

I have kept it moist but when the week killer is obviously doing
it's number on the seed there's nothing you can do and this will go
on for about 8 weeks now at least.

yup I'll bet that's the reason!

Yup. Don't use chemicals at all

Right! According to you, all we need is seed and mowing.

I'm still waiting for that recipe, Dug.

You're in the business of selling chemicals, so you have a stake in this
and are exhibiting a predictable attitude. But, the fact is, plenty of
people grow great lawns with no chemicals at all except a little
fertilizer,

Everything is a chemical, including fertilizer. We offer organic only
programs, they don't work well at all so no one really stays with
that program.

What are the expectations of the customers who feel those programs do not
work well? Be very specific.



You said, and I quote:

If the goal is to have a better lawn,
you can do that for next to nothing, with nothing but grass seed and
intelligent mowing.

So tell me, how the hell does that work?

Don't be a smartass. You know how that works.

and without a whole lot of work. Your business caters to the
lazy and the stupid.

Are -you- one of my customers?

Look - you sell unsafe products to people who believe they need an
absolutely perfect lawn. Where they get this idea, I really don't know. It's
probably proof of the pervasive power of advertising. If someone's got a
100x100 foot lawn and they see 8 dandelions, they go bonkers. Jeez....put
down the cheez doodles, get off your fat ass and dig them out before they
flower. It's not a reason to pay someone to hose down your lawn with
chemicals.
