June 1 to September 30 Remember to Fertilize Smart!

To protect our waterways from excess nutrients that pollute our waterways and feed blue-green algae, our local counties and municipalities have ordinances in place to prohibit use of fertilizers that contain phosphorus and nitrogen during the rainy season from June 1 to September 30. To review the requirements of your local ordinance visit https://ffl.ifas.ufl.edu/fertilizer/#!.
