Green Tip For The Week



Wait for the storm to pass!  Don't fertilize before a rainstorm.  Your fertilizer - along with your money - can just wash off your lawn and down the storm drain.  Fertilizer runoff can pollute rivers, lakes, and bays, and cause problems in recreational areas or fishing grounds.  Check the weather forecast before you head out, and wait for the storm to pass.  (Reprinted from:  epa.gov/earthday/tips.htm)
