It was obviously fair compensation, as you kept the job. If it was unfair, why didn't you get a job somewhere else? If the market value for a knowledgeable landscaper was higher than $6 an hour, why did you stay?
I'm not sure why you brought the owner's salary into the picture. You don't think the owner of a company, who put their own money up and risked financial ruin to get the company off the ground, should benefit more than the teenager he hired to hump a shovel?
