NEW YORK STATE
Look for the Zero Reminder: Use Only Phosphorus-Free Lawn Fer lizer
New York's nutrient runoff law prohibits the use of phosphorus lawn fer lizers unless a new lawn is being established or a soil test
shows that the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Regardless of the loca on, excess phosphorus from lawns can wash off and
pollute lakes and streams, harming fish and ruining boa ng and swimming. Before buying lawn fer lizer, check the bag for a set of
three numbers showing the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Buy a bag with a "0" in the middle.
More than 100 waterbodies in the state cannot be used or enjoyed as a result of too much phosphorus. For more informa on, visit
DEC's Lawn Fer lizer webpage.
