As the growing season approaches, Pennsylvania has a new fertilizer law you should be aware of. The Turfgrass Fetilizer Bill was signed into law last July. Provisions of the law make an effort to reduce contaminated storm runoff from entering our waterways, and includes a limit of phosphorus found in most fertilizers. It regulates what fertilizers can be used on lawns, in what amounts, and when. It applies to homeowners, commercial lawn-care companies, and professionals fertilizing park lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields. For more details you can contact the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
