How improper landscape fertilization could be causing lake algae!
Tips and Tricks for Homeowners Associations:
- ONLY FERTILIZE WHEN YOUR YARD NEEDS IT: If your yard already has the right amount of nutrients present, your lawn won’t soak up any of the extra that you have added. All of those extra nutrients will be washed down the drain. If your lawn appears yellow during the summer months, apply an iron product to restore the green. Extra fertilizer will NOT make your lawn greener.
- NEVER FERTILIZE BEFORE A RAIN STORM: If heavy rain is in the 2-day forecast, wait to fertilize. Any more than 1/4 inch of water may wash away the work you just did.
- USE A 15-FOOT “FERTILIZER-FREE” ZONE AROUND WATER: When spreading fertilizer, stay at least 15 feet away from the water’s edge and use a deflector shield on your fertilizer spreader.
- CLEAN UP SPILLS: If fertilizer ends up on a paved surface such as a driveway, sidewalk or street, sweep it back onto your lawn or collect it for later use.
