Are any of you gals bartering to save money? I plan to borrow a neighbor's spread to administer weed control and together we may rent a pressure washer to clean our vinyl sided homes.

Rather than purchase pine straw, I now rake it from the boarding stable - which allows the horses to access once covered grass.

I have some lawn fertilizer left over from last year that I'll also apply sparingly. I've raised the lawn mower blade to 3" to allow the centipede grass more root shade. Although I may need to aerate (borrow neighbors yard cleats), this technique also deters weeds.

What chores/objects are you bartering/sharing to save money?
