Hire a few different people from around the neighborhood, and you will stumble onto a treasure that will become a friend or even part of the family. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, good luck!

Instead of paying him every time he needs to come and mow the weeds (grass? you have grass??!!) I "put him on retainer" and pay him a regular sum every month. My yard has never looked better, and he's also put in all my raised beds and formed and poured the concrete to expand my patio (I pay for materials, and extra for labor because it's not yard maintenance). I found him because his "regular job" is being sexton at my church. I'd suggest that you start sniffing around and see if you can come up with a similar treasure. I don't know what I'd do without him — and he's also personally invested in the garden because of making the beds, etc., so he especially wants it to look good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
