Restrictions begin on fertilizers June 1st

Officials are reminding residents to refrain from applying fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus starting today.
The ban on those types of fertilizers continues until Sept. 30.
“Sarasota County code prohibits the use of these lawn or landscape fertilizers during the rainy season because they can get washed into our ponds and bays, harming our environment,” county officials said in a news release.
Officials said there are ways to keep lawns “looking great” but avoid allowing algae-feeding nitrogen and phosphorus out of the waterways.
“According to experts with Sarasota County UF/IFAS Extension, using the following tips can help keep our waterways healthy:
Use ‘summer safe’ yard products that contain iron or other micronutrients to green up your lawn during the summer.
Improve your dirt: Give your garden a boost by adding compost or other soil amendments.
Choose better plants: Florida-friendly landscaping needs less fertilizer, water and overall care.”
For more information, residents can call 941-861-5000 or visit www.scgov.net and use the keyword: fertilizer.
