Fertilizer, Composting and Soil

Maintaining a healthy lawn is good for the environment, so we often turn to seasonal lawn fertilizers to feed our lawns and cultivate that rich, green carpet of grass.

However, many lawn fertilizer products contain phosphorus, which can result in pollution to waterways and watersheds if not used properly.

Since phosphorus from grass or lawn fertilizers is absorbed slowly into soil, and plants use only small amounts, excess phosphorus runoff can cause algae to build up in waterways, disrupting the ecological balance.
