Go ahead and search ‘Lawn Mowing’ and you’ll see there are numerous companies which will come and, for a fee, cover your lawn in various chemicals. And of course there are the ‘Mow ‘n’ Go’ people who can come and cut it for you now and again. A large part of many peoples gardens is their lawn. Not just a well maintained area of green which is good to look at, but also a place to relax and socialise with friends and family.
I work with lawns differently though. I find that most lawns, react well to good old fashioned organic lawn care techniques.
Mowing regularly, scarifying, reseeding and feeding with an organic feed when needed are ways in which I manage my clients lawns to a high standard.
Each visit starts with a walk over where I see if there are any weeds which need dealing with. After these are removed, the next step is to tidy the edges by walls and fences. Then I use my Hayter Pro mower to create a beautiful cut, before going around and tidying up the edges of borders.
When it comes to the right time of year, I also carry a scarifier with me to remove any thatch in the lawn and also seed to reseed any areas which need it.
Apart from lawns I am also a general gardener who works organically who can help you in many ways in your garden. From hedge cutting, weeding and general garden maintenance to hedgelaying and creating fedges – living woven willow fences which come to life in the spring and summer.

What a busy week we had–but oh, so much fun!! We went to FaHoCha camp this week(12-13 yr olds) where Rick was the camp speaker. The kids spent most of their days catching frogs and then killing them (accidently, of course, since Abbi is not so gentle). We felt that it was one of the best camps we’ve ever done there. The first time we went was when Bryce was just about 1 yr. old and he was sick the whole week. Well, 6 years later and things haven’t changed much. This year Cambria and Abbi got sick. Oh well, that’s just how it goes! Can you play “Where’s Wadholms?” and find them in this picture? This is a group picture of all the campers, and it was one of the largest camps they’ve ever had. Awesome!
On Saturday we got to participate in Cory Thompson’s wedding to Ashley Wenaas. Cory was in our youth group in Osnabrock when we were there. Ashley is from Carrington, so that’s where the wedding was held. Really nice for us since that meant Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Patti got to babysit the kids for us! Yeah!! What a great way to end the week!
Three of Rick's European friends share their impressions of being in America, and contrast it to life in their home turf in Italy, Ireland, and Slovenia. Plus, listeners recommend clever ways to connect with the locals when you travel overseas.
Rick recommends the documentary film "The Singing Revolution" to demonstrate how Estonians won their freedom from the Soviet Union.
Riding the Waves-TC in Stuart, Florida, wants you to have a wonderful time. However, we also want to make sure you are safe. That's why all boat operators must meet all of the following requirements and rules.
All boat operators must be a minimum of 18 years old. Any boat operator born after January 1, 1988 must have a Florida-issued Safe Boating Card or other NASBLA approved Safe Boating Card. If you do not have a safety card, you can take the free online course at BoatUS.com. The course is free, simple and easy; even if you’ve been manning watercraft for years, it's always a good idea to take a refresher course. We like to combine safety and fun, and it’s our job to ensure you have a safe and happy journey. Boat operators must produce, at the time of the tour, either a state-issued driver's license or other state-issued ID that clearly shows date of birth.
Boat operators must bring a major credit card. This is because you are responsible for any damage done to boats due to improper or unsafe boat handling. Boat operators must sign our standard Liability & Use Release upon arrival.
Each boat has two seats, one for the operator and one for the passenger. During the course of the tour, you will be provided with an opportunity to switch seats if the initial passenger is over the age of 18 and wants an opportunity to take control of the boat and assume the position of operator. Whether you drive or sit back and enjoy the water, its great fun and something you’ll definitely remember.
