�� IT'S THE MOST [LOCAL-WATER-QUALITY-CONCSIOUS] TIME OF THE YEAR ��

That's right, the fertilizer ban is back. The rainy summer weather can cause nutrients from fertilizer to reach bodies of water and lead to environmental issues like algae blooms, fish kills and water quality problems (that's bad). To help prevent these environmental mishaps, the yearly fertilizer ban is in effect for the summer. Refrain from using fertilizer June 1 - September 30.
