Looking for someone to weed my garden

The thread below has motivated me to post for someone to weed my perennial beds. It would be probably 4 hours a week, maybe good for high school student. Thanks!

When I needed such I just placed an ad in the local newspaper. Always got someone.
Be careful with wording as you possibly could run across age discrimination if you mention just young people.

Another way is to meet with the local high school guidance counselor. He/she will be able to find more then a few upstanding students.

Meet with the local pastor/religious person - any of them - and ask for such.

Call any of the plethora of landscape businesses locally and ask what their hourly rate is.
