Is mowing my lawn good exercise? It's quite a large lawn, and it's on a slope so I'm going up and down a hill, but it doesn't feel like exercise. My heart rate doesn't go up, and it doesn't tire me in the least, in fact it's just an unbearably dull way to kill time. My dad thinks it's good, but if I can do it so effortlessly, is it really giving me any benefits or burning off calories?

Is it true that lowering the lawn mowing height is better in dry conditions? My area is currently experiencing dry conditions, and there are watering restrictions in place. I always thought it was the opposite--that it's better to raise the mowing height in dry conditions. But I was recently reading a lawn care website that recommended a mowing height of 2-3" with the following exception: "Increasing mowing height also means that your lawn will soak up more moisture from the soil at a faster rate, which it then releases into the air. Moisture is used as a transport system that moves chemicals from one place to another inside the plant. In areas where drought conditions are being experienced, and water restrictions are in place, you might want to gradually lower your lawn mowing height to a slightly lower level." So should I actually be cutting my lawn shorter (say, 2" or under) during dry conditions? Thanks!

If you open a small business mowing lawns, what is the best/most common way to contract your customers?

Name for my lawn-mowing business? (Suburban home owners please answer!)? I'm a college student returning home for the summer, and I live in a middle-class suburban neighborhood. I am experienced with lawn care, and I'm forming a local company for the summer with a few friends to offer different lawn services. We're young college students, and we did this last year under the name "The Super Lawn Bros" with limited success. I'm investing into some more professional advertising and higher end lawn care equipment- what do you think a catchy but professional sounding name is? As a Suburban home owner, would a rate starting at $15 a week for one cut a week sound fair? And would the name Super Lawn Bros be ok, or sound too childish? Other names I'd consider: -Summer Brothers -Lawn Bros Thanks for the advice!

Good price for mowing lawns? What would be a good price to ask for people to pay me for mowing their lawns? I use a walking mower. I would probably mow it every Friday afternoon, anytime on Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. If the lawn grows at a normal rate, I would probably mow it every or every other week. Should the price depend on how bad the lawn is? Or should it depend on how long it takes me? In other words, should it be a flat rate, or an hourly rate?

Interested in starting a small summer mowing business..few questions? Hello everybody, first of all thanks for taking the time and reading this. Here's the deal. Me and two other friends (all 18 years of age) are interested in starting a small local lawn mowing business. We live in a country-ish area where most of the yards are very big. I've noticed driving by different houses that there are houses that either need to be cut or are being cut by expensive landscaping companies. We thought it would be a good idea to put flyers around close neighborhoods and the local supermarket offering our service of cutting, trimming, and cleaning. Now, what are some good ideas to include on the flyer, other than our name, what we do, and contact information? What would be a reasonable charge rate to offer to customers? We want to be reasonable where people will want us cutting their yards but we would also like to make some money after taking care of gas expenses. Some ideas i had were to charge $1/minute, $30/acre, or even $50 for the first hour then $1/minute after that. Equipment wise, we have a Cub Cadet zero turn mower, a John Deere 325 riding mower, a push mower, weed wacker/trimmer, and other basic tools (rake, shovel, etc.) I think we have the necessary equipment to complete our small jobs. However, we do not have a trailer to carry the mowers. Would it be better to invest in a used trailer or to purchase a ramp for a Silverado truck and have the mower in there? Also, if you have done something like this before, how was the experience? I am interested in the input. Thank you again for taking the time, I am curious to see all the answers!

Can anyone tell me how many illegals work in "TRADABLE" productive chains? A tradable is a product that can be bought easily from some other country. For example, a pair of scissors is a tradable, a haircut however is a non-tradable, no matter how cheap they may be in China, you'll have to pay local rates. Therefore, tradable prices are limited to international prices whereas nontradables aren't. The reason I ask is that, if wages were to go up in tradable productive chains, part or the whole those productive chain COULD be outsourced, causing the loss of jobs in the US. That seems to be a reason why business would be against changing anything (amnisty would mean higher wages too). If, on the other hand, they are mainly on nontradable, all that will happen is a little inflation. Keep in mind that the tradable industry is much less visible than non-tradable because you see a guy mowing lawn, or working on a house, but not working at a steel mill. So, does anyone have numbers on this? No opinions or rants, please. Xexeca: Please do not assume my political views on this or any other topic. Regarding polical correctness though, I think it's just plain dumb but I'll call it whatever you want if that will make you answer my question. Okay everybody, strike "illegals" and write "undocumented". Did that change anything?

The best way to mow a lawn is to mow the edges of the yard and to mow the outer corners.That is the method i do when i mow the yard.Then after i do that, I mow the rest of the yard.I like to mow because it takes my mind off of other things.Another reason I like to mow is it makes me feel as if I have accomplished a goal or a chore.To my opinion mowing a yard is fun Mowing a lawn is very energetic.That is one of the ways that I get my exercise.Mowing a yard takes plenty of work because your walking, pulling, and pushing the lawn mower.When I first started to mow it seemed as if it were taking me for ever to get finished.But when I got used to mowing, I started mowing at a faster rate.Mowing a yard is not as hard work that some people think it is. Many people may think mowing a yard can be quite exhausting.That is why I suggest you always have a water bottle filled with ice cold water.Then if you get thirsty all you have to do is take a couple of sips of water.I usually mow early like at 9:00 or 9:30, So that way I can get the task done instead of procrastinating.Sometimes I even time how long it takes me to mow the lawn. If you are just starting to mow yards, I have plenty of good tips that you may want to know.My first tip is to always pick up any debris you see laying in your yard.If you don't you could run over it and it could possibly break your lawn mower or it could go into a neighbors yard.Before you do or get anything out it would be very wise to make sure you have enough gas.Something else you might want to do is wear comfortable clothes while you mow.Never wear your nice looking clothes while mowing because grass stains might get on them. When I mow, I make sure that I wear some working gloves because once when I was mowing without them i got blisters on my hand from holding the lawn mower to tight.Usually I choose to mow on a day that it is not so hot.I always wear sunscreen, so that my skin does not get damaged by the sun.Another great tip is to invest in buying a riding lawn mower especially if you have a large yard.One more wise tip is to never, ever run over rocks with the lawn mower because, if you do it could fly in the air and hit someone in the eye or it could also bust someones window.Also watch out for children playing and never forget to put your gas can or lawn mower equipment back in the building.These are the things i do while i mow the lawn and, I hope they help you too.

how can i make some fast money? ok so i need to make £38.00 to buy a dress, im already sighned up with ca*sh c*rate ect. so dont even bother refering me! i have already mown the lawn and asked if anyone needs a baby sitter, i need this money by the 23rd may! HEEELPPP! im out of ideas!

Have I been charging too little for landscaping work? I am a 45 year-old guy with a lot of gardening experience from taking care of my own lawn/garden, but no formal landscaping training. Last spring I started doing lawn/garden help (trimming, mulching, etc - no mowing) for people at $15 per hour. I work alone, do fine work, use all my own tools - hand tools, no power tools. However, I work at my own pace, dress casually, don't have a truck with company logo or anything... so I don't know if I can get away with claiming to be a "professional landscaper." My niece's husband just told me that he would expect someone to to charge $20 to $25 per hour. I don't want to price myself out of getting jobs. But I also don't like the idea of being taken advantage of. Most people who hire help for this are upper middle class at least. Should I charge more? If I do raise my rate, what's a polite way to inform customers? (to April) Well, I agree "being taken advantage of" sounds like victim mentality. What I should have said is that I don't like the idea of selling myself short. It does seem like some customers act like they're sort of licking their chops and ask if I can do other things too, like paint their garage, clean their porch, etc. I'm afraid I seriously undersold myself thinking that any high school kid can weed a rose garden... but in fact, it's amazing to find out what seemingly ordinary tasks people are not able or willing to do neatly and efficiently. (to emerson) Thanks for your advice! I'm not sure, however, if you understand my situation. I am not a trained landscaper - I'm an artist - musician - teacher... This August I leave for a two year contract working at an international school overseas. The reason I don't like to do mowing is that if I want to go on a road trip or go hiking for a few days, I'm not locked into mowing people's lawns. I don't sit on my can all winter - I'm usually teaching children with learning disabilities. Landscaping is really a moonlighting job for me. So you see, I'm not going to get a degree, hire staff, advertise, buy a big truck, etc. I don't want to deal with anything more than "small fry" level work. Therefore, I leave the big jobs and the bidding and so on to pros like yourself. That said, do you, with your considerable experience, have any thoughts about niche work for individuals like me?

How Much Would You Charge For Each Of These? Babysitting............................ $?.?? / hour Mow the front of someones lawn $?.?? ( Flat rate or hourly?) Animal Sitting $?.?? Dog Walking $?.?? Would you charge hourly or a flat rate, any advice would be helpful. Looking to do odd jobs or something. Also tried to hold a yard sale to get rid of stuff we really have no use for, someone ripped all the signs down and I got very few customers. Any advice on that one?

EXTRA HELP When Special Education Goes Too Easy on Students Parents Say Schools Game System, Let Kids Graduate Without Skills By JOHN HECHINGER and DANIEL GOLDEN August 21, 2007; Page A1 GREENPORT, N.Y. -- On June 25, 2006, Michael Bredemeyer threw his tasseled cap in the air and cheered after getting his high school diploma. Two days later, his parents mailed the diploma back. [More Data on Mainstreaming] * * * Plus, read more about the challenges of integrating special-needs students, at WSJ.com/Mainstreaming. Michael, now 19 years old, has learning disabilities and finished high school at a seventh-grade reading level, despite scoring above average on IQ tests. The Bredemeyers say he passed some classes because teachers inflated his grades and accepted poor work. By awarding him a meaningless diploma, they say, school officials avoided paying for ongoing instruction. "I felt proud because he had worked so hard," says Michael's mother, Beverly, her voice breaking. "You don't want to take that away from him. But you knew it wasn't real. What's he going to do in the future? Will he be able to go to college and get a job?" The Bredemeyers represent a new voice in special education: parents disappointed not because their children are failing, but because they're passing without learning. These families complain that schools give their children an easy academic ride through regular-education classes, undermining a new era of higher expectations for the 14% of U.S. students who are in special education. Years ago, schools assumed that students with disabilities would lag behind their non-disabled peers. They often were taught in separate buildings and left out of standardized testing. But a combination of two federal laws, adopted a quarter-century apart, have made it national policy to hold almost all children with disabilities to the same academic standards as other students. The 1975 statute now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act promoted putting special-education students in mainstream classrooms. The 2001 No Child Left Behind Act said schools would be punished if disabled children don't pass the same state tests as other students. It also requires states to set standards for high-school graduation rates and meet them for all students, including those with disabilities. By some measures, the extra attention is paying off. Test scores and classroom grades of disabled students are rising, and their high-school graduation rate increased to 54% in 2004 from 42% in 1996. But critics say some of the gains have come because schools have learned to game the system. For instance, federal rules allow states to make "reasonable accommodations" to help disabled students pass tests and graduate, such as allowing extra time on exams. Some schools, say critics, are giving students too much help, for instance by guiding students to the right answers on multiple-choice tests. MAKING THE GRADE • The Issue: Some parents of students with learning disabilities say their children are graduating too easily. • The Background: Federal laws raised school standards, but left loopholes. Increasingly, special-education students get special help to pass tests. • The Problem: If schools game the system, those students move on without the skills they need. From 2000 to 2005, special-education fourth graders showed more improvement in reading and math than the general population on an important benchmark test, the National Assessment of Educational Progress. But accommodations also increased. In 2005, 70% of fourth-grade special education students received some sort of accommodation while taking the math portion, up from 44% five years earlier. In reading, 63% used accommodations in 2005, up from 29% in 2000. On tests used to measure compliance with No Child Left Behind, more states are permitting students with disabilities to use calculators on arithmetic tests or have reading-comprehension tests be read aloud. Massachusetts education commissioner David Driscoll warned school administrators in February that an alarming number of special education students -- a quarter or half in some cases -- were receiving such accommodations on state exams. With unclear guidelines, "People start driving trucks through loopholes," he said in an interview. Some school districts have an informal policy against failing students with disabilities even if they miss many classes or aren't learning. "I can go into any school we represent and have somebody tell me we have to pass special education students" to avoid being blamed for not providing the right services if students fail, says Janet Horton, a Texas special-education attorney. Federal law says special-education students should receive a "free appropriate public education," but it doesn't prohibit failing them. Mardys Leeper and Carol Merrill, former teachers at West Philadelphia High School in Pennsylvania, say a special-education administrator there ordered them to pass special-education students. Ms. Leeper says she made concessions for students with disabilities, such as letting them write shorter essays or copy paragraphs she wrote onto a word processor rather than composing their own. But when those students didn't make an effort, or skipped class, both teachers say they sometimes sought to fail them -- only to have the administrator insist on passing grades. The reason they were given: Students had met the goals of their federally mandated individual education plans, IEPs, spelling out goals and services for each special-education student. "Students who weren't even participating, even trying, we couldn't fail them," says Ms. Merrill, an English teacher who retired this year. Even if they couldn't read, "I had to give them a 'D.'" The administrator couldn't be reached for comment. Brenda Taylor, head of special education for the Philadelphia school district, called the matter a "breakdown in communication." The district has no written policy against failing special-education students, she says. But rather than being "punitive" if a student performs poorly or cuts class, she says, the district prefers to revise a student's IEP. "We're not in the business of failing students," Ms. Taylor says. Only 19 states require all students to earn the same kind of diploma, according to a recent University of Minnesota survey. Some of those states let special-education students amass fewer course credits to earn the degree, the survey found. Other states give substitute certificates, in some cases called IEP diplomas, to special-education students who don't qualify for standard diplomas. Many special-education parents are happy to see their children advance through school and graduate. Reggie Felton, director of federal policy for the National School Boards Association, says special-education students learn more in regular classes even if they're given a break on assignments or grading. The federal government recently decided to triple the percentage of students allowed to take easier tests, to 3% from 1%. Some legislators have proposed exempting more students. But the rebellion against too-easy passing is growing, says Pam Wright, who with her husband has co-authored books on special education issues and operates a Virginia-based information clearinghouse for special-education parents. She estimates she now receives more than 1,000 email messages a year from parents lamenting that their children with disabilities take mainstream courses but aren't being taught as much as their classmates. Dozens of parents have contended in recent administrative appeals that their children did not deserve the diplomas they received, she says. The family of Alba Somoza, who has cerebral palsy and speaks only with the help of a computer, filed one such case. Alba drew national attention in the 1990s when her family successfully pushed to include the then-third grader in a regular classroom. Then-President Bill Clinton backed her cause, and Alba, now 23, graduated with honors from a New York City high school in 2002. Last year, Alba and her family filed an administrative case claiming her education was a sham. A school report prepared weeks before she graduated showed she had language and math skills at an elementary school level, court records show. "You cannot shunt children through -- you cannot scam them through the system," says Alba's mother, Mary. [Michael Bredemeyer] Since shortly after she graduated, New York has been paying for a special program for Alba that costs $400,000 a year -- including a full-time teacher, an aide, transportation and extensive technology. The city says it is doing so out of compassion, not legal obligation. The family is seeking to continue the public funding another year to help Alba receive enough education to work as a museum docent. The Somozas lost the administrative case, but a judge in U.S. District Court in Manhattan ruled in the family's favor earlier this year and ordered another hearing. Rather than develop a program that would help Alba reach her academic goals, teachers lowered the curriculum's "level of difficulty" and removed "large and meaningful portions of its substantive content," the judge said. One teacher testified that he did most of the work on Alba's final project in 2002. New York officials say the school properly adapted the curriculum for a severely disabled student. In northern California, Jennifer McGowan, an 18-year-old who is deaf in one ear and suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities, was supposed to graduate from Vacaville Unified School District in June. She didn't get her diploma -- because her family won a court injunction to stop it. In an interview, Jennifer said she often received A or B grades for poorly completed work or, at times, when she didn't do assignments at all or show up for class. Achievement tests she took in January 2005 showed that she had the math and reading skills of an elementary-school student, according to her administrative complaint. The school district denies her grades were inflated and said she showed her proficiency by passing a high-school exit exam. John Aycock, Vacaville's superintendent, said teachers did "a great job working with Jennifer." Jennifer says she failed the exit exam several times despite intensive preparation. "They just wanted to pass me and let me fly by," she says. The school system says it's not unusual to make several attempts to pass. At the Mercer Island school district in Washington state, the family of a girl with severe learning disabilities complains that, instead of the intense instruction she needed to master reading and math in eighth and ninth grades, teachers showered her with accommodations: a peer note-taker, a peer to read materials to her, oral exams, reduced assignments and a calculator on math tests. At an administrative hearing, the family -- whose names are not disclosed in the court papers -- sought to force the school system to pay for her private schooling. Noting her strong A and B grades, the district successfully argued that accommodations were helping her learn. In U.S. District Court in Seattle, a judge hearing an appeal of the case disagreed last year, saying the system improperly relied on accommodations rather than instruction, and has returned the case to a hearing officer to determine financial relief for the family. Boxes of school correspondence and Michael Bredemeyer's old tests and assignments line the hallways of his family's weather-beaten saltbox house in Orient, N.Y., on Long Island's North Fork. Michael's parents are demanding public funding for more services until age 21, to which students are entitled unless they graduate, so he can improve his academic skills for college. John Bredemeyer, a county public-health inspector, and his wife, Beverly, had high hopes for Michael, who has a strong work ethic and a knack for repairing machines. But once he entered public middle school in nearby Greenport, his parents worried that teachers were letting him skate through classes and tests. Michael, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities including dyslexia, says in some classes he "definitely earned" a passing grade, but others were "borderline." He took regular classes except for one period a day. "A little more one-on-one" instruction would have helped, he says. On state achievement exams, Michael's IEP permitted him extra time, simplified instructions and guidance from a teacher to slow him down if he rushed through answers. But when he completed the eighth-grade math test, his special-education teacher also took him to the resource room and directed him to redo problems he had answered incorrectly. According to a memo from Greenport Superintendent Charles Kozora, the teacher "exceeded the intent" of Michael's accommodations, boosting his score. The state investigated and invalidated Michael's test. [Revolt] Mr. Kozora said the school system had only two cases of testing irregularities in six years, few conflicts with parents over special education and "many successes" among students with disabilities. The district says achievement, and not cost, dictates its decisions on graduating students. When Michael was a junior at Greenport High, his chemistry teacher passed him with the minimum grade of 65, even though he says he spent much of the class doodling and playing solitaire on his laptop. Checking his assignments and tests, his parents couldn't understand how he could be passing. In a letter, the school principal acknowledged that the final grade was a "miscalculation" and should have been 56.6, or an F. The school offered to let him make up his lost credits by volunteering in the town library. When his parents balked, he was instead placed in courses in sociology and psychology. On one psychology pop quiz, five of Michael's seven answers were marked wrong, but a failing grade was crossed out on the paper and a passing score of 65 was substituted. The school district declined comment. For a senior English assignment, he received an A for one untitled paragraph. "I believe competition today has changed dramatically," he wrote. "Back in the day, sports was some of the only sports that had competition. Today, everyone wants to compete and only be successful. School work, school sports, major league sports, all involve high amounts of success and competition. Competition today has become very extreme." His English teacher, Michael Connolly, said he didn't remember the assignment and had no comment on the grade. On standardized tests, Michael had mixed results: On the SATs, which have a 200 to 800 scale, Michael received 330 and then 370 in two tries on the reading test, in the bottom 10% of all students nationally. On math, he scored 460 both times. He failed two state exams and passed five others. His school grades put him in the bottom one-third of his class. A month before graduation, the Bredemeyers debated whether he should accept the degree. "I wanted to have it," Michael says. "Get it and forget it." On graduation day, a school band played "Pomp and Circumstance." Michael's parents, his sister, his grandmother, aunts and uncles watched as he walked up to the podium and a school official handed him a purple diploma case with his name etched in gold letters. Michael says he knew his parents might not let him keep it. "I had a feeling they'd do something like that," he said, shrugging. "I'll eventually get it back, one of these days, months, years." This summer, Michael has been mowing lawns and picking up trash at a state park for $9 an hour. This fall, he plans to enter his second year at Suffolk County Community College, which does not require a high-school diploma. Last semester at Suffolk, he received a D-plus in freshman composition, D's in statistics and Western Civilization and an F in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Quality lawn tractor for $1200 or less? I have been looking to buy a lawn tractor since we just bought a house with a little over a half acre of grass. I have mowed it once with a push mower and won't do that again. Can anyone recommend a quality lawn tractor for $1200 or less? I do not need a zero turn or anything fancy like that. I was looking at the Troy-Bilt Pony 17 HP, 42 inch cut. However, it looks to me to be the exact same mower as the Bolens and the Yard Machines...all made by MTD. I found a website which pretty much rated them as junk. I was considering a Craftsman from Sears, but all but the more expensive ones have a manual transmission (stop to change speed). I have considered used, but am not thrilled about going that route when I can buy new for not much more.

how much more debt can we afford on the backs of the working class . WHo wants a graduated tax system back .? Remember that those people who make the most in this life are reliant on the most . Its the roads we all pay for they use to ship products .Its the shopping malls that need waste water run off systems and waste water treatment . Its our entire infrastructure that supports businesses . Today they choose to run out on us taking the Jobs where new offices and factories are cheaper to build and the jobs they want us for is building vacation homes and serving them dinners in 5 star eatery's, washing their laundry and cars and clipping hedges and mowing lawns . Nursing them back to health and working for them for the lowest wages possible based on the number of available workers willing to do the job correctly . I do not feel bad about taxing others at a higher rate then the vast majority of people . Billionaires will not lose sleep and their kids will not skip a meal or miss out on dental care If we tax them more . You think people would stop because you tax them more .LOL The people who earn hundreds of millions of dollars do so because they are driven like alcoholics to the bar the are driven to work and no matter what you tax them they will continue to do it . Its a lot of crap to say if we tax the rich more they will quit working . You can not stop these people . 300 million and I am retired right . Thats what you would say but you will keep on doing what you do . Cause change is always hard to accept

how would u feel if tomorrow u and 80% of your co workers lost their job to illegal immigrants ? That is what's happening to construction workers on a daily basis. Due to the economy everyone is trying to save money so companys are low balling bids getting all of the work and paying their illegal immigrants sub par rates but are giving them cash. The illegals can afford to work cheap cause they don't pay taxes and 10 of them share an apartment and have no other bills so they save money to bring more of their family here illegaly while hard working blue collar americans can't find a decent job cause people continue to support this by hiring companys that use illegals. All of this talk bout sending jobs overseas what bout the jobs being stollen right in your back yard? Who is painting your neighbors house or mowing their lawn? If it was your line of work being taken over would u feel the same?
