FYI: Green Grass and Clean Water

Many of us enjoy the time we spend working on our lawns and are willing to try new practices as long as our lawns continue to look nice. However, some lawn care practices can create water quality problems. Excess nutrients (including nitrogen and phosphorous found in fertilizers) that run off our properties into local waterbodies can trigger algal blooms that cloud water and rob it of oxygen. Here are some great tips and easy practices for creating and maintaining a truly healthy lawn that is both attractive and safer for the environment.
