While having a small yard business, I had forgotten about the Old Farmers Almanac, and everything I pruned came way too fast.
I felt bad having to charge people for pruning bushes I did the week before, (as well as doing the same bushes week after week..)
Everybody was happy when a pruning job would last 2-3 months.
Saved my clients a bunch of money also!
