Lake Nutrients

If you fertilize your lawn, don't fertilize prior to rainy days, and leave a 10ft. strip of unfertilized lawn along the lakefront
Use a phosphorus free fertilizer (Example, the middle number in a fertilizer description indicates the phosphorous level- 20-0-10 indicates a phosphorous free fertilizer).
If you have a lawn care provider, please check to see if they have a phosphorous free treatment and ask them to follow the applications recommendations contained in this article.
Install a greenbelt of vegetation between your lawn or septic tank and the lake.
Aerate your lawn periodically. Add seed and mulch to exposed soil to prevent erosion.
Do not let the grass blow into the lake while mowing. Remove fallen leaves and branches near the shore.
Remove aquatic weeds and other debris that wash up along the shore to prevent them from decaying.
Remove dog droppings, goose/duck droppings and deposit them in trash or compost.
If you have a fire along the lakeshore, remove the ashes so they won't wash into the lake.
Be careful not to let chemicals from the house or garage spill where they may run into the lake.
Check around the shoreline for erosion. These add to the nutrient load of the lake.
Do not release aquarium fish, plants, or snails into the lake.
