Zero "P" Lawn - it's the Law!

Look for the Zero Reminder:

Use Only Phosphorus-Free Lawn Fertilizer

New York's nutrient runoff law prohibits the use of phosphorus lawn fertilizers unless a new lawn is being established or a soil test shows that the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Regardless of the location, excess phosphorus from lawns can wash off and pollute lakes and streams, harming fish and ruining boating and swimming.

More than 100 waterbodies in the state cannot be used or enjoyed as a result of too much phosphorus. For more information,
