Hi Jerry, Enjoyed your book: "backyard problem solver". I posted a question on the customer service line re: your all season clean-up tonic. I like the way you give the conscientious person another way to treat problems without chemicals.
Hope you can visit us sometime in North Carolina. Thanks, John b.
