Another important puzzle piece for the Great Lakes puzzle


Recommended Posts

Interesting Les, I know there is a big brew ha about farming phosphorus, but they fired back stating they use X amount per acre, which shouldn't create an issue. They claim you should look closer at the folks that have property up to the lake, with beautiful green lawns. The farmers claim that lawn care folks whether a small business or a nationally know just say chem-lawn put down 90-100% more phosphorus fertilizer per acre than a farmer 10-15 miles from the lake. You know how those people are if there lawn is green with no dandelion flowers, the neighbors can't be out done!!, so this snowball effect continues before you know it you have major alge blooms as Erie does.

Well this might not be the case here, but the large alge blooms on Erie are from this type of activity, fertilizer is fertilizer to me. If in makes green lawns it will make green water. I'm not a fan of fertilizer because I mow my lawn enough the way it is. LOL I would assume you know more than I with a title "TURF" !!!
