Also the author Francisco wants to do this objective easier than it frequently is , that is transmitted to all who purchase the Manual: "my best grass", the assurance that from now on will be much simpler to have a beautiful grass Francisco transmits all their knowledge, their studies, his investigations, their experience in working in companies # 1 in the retail industry for many years to all those who think like him: "Caring for our grass, we will have a better environment. This is our power" If we had to summarize in two concepts this work would say: "Simplicity" and "ready to use". Besides this project does not end with this manual of Francisco, the author promises that will continue to transmit experiences through Internet which guarantees to keep in touch Enjoy it
