September 11

Our thoughts are with all who have been affected by this particular event.
Let us all pause to reflect on the world we live in. How quickly it can change and how to enjoy life in the meantime.

While driving, I saw a big patch of rust fungus disease on a lawn. http://bit.ly/2ieDhE

Another customer reported they won a Pink Trillium Award. more on that another time.

At a potential customers lawn today. Saw a lawn with low nutrients, except for a few nice green spots along the drip line of a large maple. Perhaps, someone had fed the tree with tree spikes or by deep root feeding as normally this would be done at the edge of the tree. Tree fertilizing can also cause the lawn to turn greener where the tree has been fertilized. However, the spacing was rather irregular and not even.

I had noticed a lot of bird droppings along the sidewalk as I arrived. As I was leaving I realized that the 2 were connected. The green spots in the lawn were greener because they had indeed been fertilized. By the birds. The lawn had turned greener due to the nutrients in the bird droppings. The sidewalk, however did not benefit from this at all. In fact it looked rather dirtied.

The birds sitting on the tree branches have fertilized the lawn and caused their natural, organic by product to increase the lawn's green colour
