I must have stupid printed on my forehead, who would pay that. To me she is slowly putting herself out of business, what do you all think, would you all pay that much?

Yep, I pay $110 for an hour for two guys whenever I can’t do it myself (us. because of a medical issue, travel, elderly mom in hospital, etc.). It’s dirty, boring work that hurts my back and knees, and in this heat it’s just awful to be out crawling around plants pulling weeds. And the weeders usually have to drive twenty or thirty minutes each way from someplace north or south to get here. Yep, it’s expensive, but you are not likely to find anyone willing to do it cheaply, especially given the heat and the rain.
