A while ago, I posted how Virginia was proposing to limit lawn fertilizers. Now Maryland legislators
have followed suit:
Bills under consideration in the General Assembly would limit the nitrogen and phosphorus content of fertilizers, as well as establishing signage and education requirements.
The goal is to cut down on overapplication of fertilizer on residential lawns, golf courses and other areas, which sends harmful nutrients flowing into creeks, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay...
...The legislation that appears the most likely to pass is a wide-ranging bill developed by the Chesapeake Bay Commission, which has lawmakers from Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania...
That bill would:
- Limit the amount of nitrogen in fertilizer that's sold at retail stores and require a certain percent of nitrogen to be in a slow-release form.
- Ban phosphorus in fertilizer that's sold at retail stores, except for blends used on new grass or if a soil test indicates a need for phosphorus.
- Limit when and how companies can apply fertilizer on residential lawns.
- Require the state to certify professional fertilizer applicators.
- Require the state and the University of Maryland to launch a fertilizer education program for homeowners.
- Ban fertilizer from being labeled for use as a de-icer.
I will then allow the dust to blow in my lawn proudly (I do it now in shame).
You know what i think about those legislators and companies who wanna limit the amount prescribe by brilliant scientist and chemist back in the days(like from 17th century to the 20th century)?I think they should all go eat sh** to fertilize their minds.How are you going to ban fertilizer and not ban the nuclear plants and the oil companies polluting the environment on a lager scale? God damn retards establish companies are trying to buy a way through the legislatures to bring down the cost,so they can make a little extra millions.HAHAHAHAH what a god damn joke.
