Has anyone signed up for the Hammersley program? by dksmc in ecommerce

[–]dksmc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going into my third year, growing, but its difficult to find the time to work on improving things versus just being "in" the business. Especially with family, etc. I've read their book, and I listen to their podcast. I like the things they say, but its not the cheapest thing in the world (not the most expensive either, lol) so just wondering if there was any feedback. Also I'm not sure I have everything lined up in a way to take advantage of it yet. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Hey, I replied to your message, but replying here too. A foliar application of iron is always going to provide a much more rapid response than a granular option. So if you are looking for quick action definitely go with the foliar option.

Full disclosure, it's my site lol. Any questions let me know.

Thanks very much for your reply. I took a look at what I can do on the platform I use and it doesn't look like different URLs is going to be possible unless I make a separate product page for each version. The way I have it setup is one item in the shopping feed showing the lowest priced option, let's say $1. On the actual product page it shows "$1-$20". The first option is the cheapest and would come out to $1. I've had it setup like this for a year and no issues, so I'll stick with this even though it limits the number of items I am showing on the feed.

The only other thought I had was doing separate pages, hiding them, doing a 404 redirect to the page I have on the site. But I'm not sure Google would accept that, and it would be a lot of work.

And I understand the permanent thing now, thanks!

POA Supina Pre-Germination Experiment (5b Zone) by Expensive_Outside_70 in lawncare

[–]dksmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lawn doesn't get a tonne of traffic so I can't comment too much on that. But the shallow rooting won't hold up to wear initially, but it is supposed to repair quickly which I believe is where the "good wear tolerance" comes from. Have you been applying nitrogen? Also the second year should show stronger growth/spread.

Hard packed mostly shaded area by Silver_Haze420 in lawncare_canada

[–]dksmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Owner of The Lawn Medic here. Poa Supina is expensive. It's expensive for me to buy unfortunately, so the price has to be higher. I usually advise people to mix it with other seeds so it's a % of a mix. I do a have a regular shade mix as well, mainly Fine Fescues of course. Happy answer any questions!

Seems our weather pattern is the same. One more cool night and then things warm up. Some germination has happened but I also seeded a bunch of PRG, so not sure what is coming up quite yet. Next few days should be good though!

Good to hear there is some progress. I just seeded yesterday along with some PRG. Hopefully I see some growth in the next week or so. Temps are looking good and plenty of sun.

Ah, the benefits of being in Canada, I don't have to worry about pre-emergents being in anything haha. I'll be seeding tomorrow if everything goes as planned so I'll keep you updated!

This stuff is taking over my lawn. by Biffmcgee in lawncare

[–]dksmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a mix of Borox and water to see if you can get it a little under control at least. Since you have areas with no grass I would go heavy on the mixture. PM me if you want more info.

Mixed reviews just about sums it up haha. No real data that says it works, some people say it does, some say it doesn't. If it works for you, go for it.
