With a hand spreader, it takes about 10 minutes per month max. and I can save about $65 per month between the insect control and fertilizer with a contractor.
I agree with you about the lawn and pest control. You are also much more responsive when you see problems starting and can treat right a way and not wait for the lawn company runaround.
