💧 Protect Local Waterways While Maintaining a Healthy Lawn

Spring is here, and that means lawn care season! But too much fertilizer or applying it incorrectly can pollute our rivers, ponds, and even local drinking water.

Here’s how to be water-smart:
• Test your soil to know what your lawn really needs.
• Avoid phosphorus unless necessary - it fuels algae growth.
• Use slow-release or organic fertilizers and consider leaving clippings or growing clover.
• Never apply fertilizer before heavy rain, on frozen ground, or right near a waterbody.

🌊 A healthy lawn doesn’t have to harm the environment. Learn more: yourcleanwater.org/lawn
