I would be very concerned about you leaving to start another company under your boss' nose. I know I would be extremely pissed to say the least if my guys left to do that, and took a CREW with them!!

Anyways, not to say that you shouldn't do that, you do have to look out for yourself after all. I think Terre had the best examples, and definitely be sure to get contracts first.

By the way, another thought, even though Dot Pecson had the right idea about taking pictures, I would be very careful because even though you're taking pictures of "your work", it is still your boss' job/customer/contract.

Tread lightly.

Good luck

Is that a law for all of Canada? I thought only certain cities adopted that law?

It's not certain cities........not sure if it's provinces or national?.

If it's not national at the momment......it will be.

check this out.......county to the east of me.....puts into effect 1/1/09.....no fertilizer applications from November 1 to April 1.

There are exceptions for new installations and farms.

The ground water out there in some pockets......realy not fit to drink......but that's not just fertilizer.
