Book and Website Recommendations - Lawn Care and Weeds

Posted by Fran Logue on July 14, 2015 at 9:14pm in Pesticides

Hi Folks,

I am looking to do pesticide training in the winter and start offering weeding and lawn services next season. Can anyone recommend any good books or websites to help identify weeds. I want to start swatting up now. I am going to do the PA1/PA6 training in November.

I also want to focus on lawn care next season so if you have any good books or sites for that as well, it would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

    I'm pretty much doing the same, PA1/PA6 in Sept looking to focus more on lawn care and mowing next year. I have been looking through the Lawnsmith website just now, and there seems to be quite a bit of info. Hopefully I'll be able to work out how much to charge by spring too :)

    I found the Dr.D.G.Hessayon 'The Lawn Expert' to be a good read and he makes everything very basic which is nice. I gained a huge amount of knowledge from that book to the point I now have his whole series.

    For a good book on all aspects of lawn care it has to be "Modern Lawn Care" by David Hedges-Gower.
    I have a copy myself and it's a very easy and informative read with plenty of good pictures.
