We all want to clean up our lake.YOU CAN SAY NO to a GREEN LAKE by using 0-Phosphorus Fertilizer on your yard this year!

Why Use Zero Phosphorus  Fertilizer?

 

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are a common and natural component of the microscopic plants (plankton) in Lakes. Some types of blue-green algae produce natural toxins or poisons. When these algae die and break down, toxins can be released into the water and can kill fish, your pets, and humans!

Clean Up The Lakes!

bullet

If you live on the lakes or in the city of Madison, use no-phosphorus fertilizer on your lawn.  Most lawns do not need additional phosphorus.  The runoff of phosphorus provides nutrients for the blue-green algae bloom in the lakes.

bulletDo rake up leaves in the fall.  Leaves decompose, add nutrients,  and use up oxygen in the lakes.
bulletUse gravel driveways and brick patios rather than concrete so rain water can soak into the ground.  This reduces runoff.
bulletLeave some natural vegetation along the shore and cut grass  2 1/2 - 3 inches to reduce runoff.  
bulletAllow some aquatic plants to grow in the water on part of your shoreline.  They add oxygen to the lake.
bulletAshes add nutrients to the lake.  If you light fires on the beach remove the ashes so they don't wash into the lake.  Better yet, avoid fires on the beach.
