Phosphorus-Free Fertilizer Law goes into effect January 1, 2009
Annapolis, MD (12-31-08) Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer reminds residents they can only use phosphorus-free fertilizer starting January 1, 2009. This law affects the sale and application of lawn fertilizer containing phosphorus.
The purpose of the law is to prevent phosphorus from entering into the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The goal is to reduce non-point source pollution and to improve water quality.
This law applies to all land located within the boundaries of the City of Annapolis and all land owned by the City of Annapolis. There are exemptions to the bill:
• Newly established turf or lawn areas during their first growing season.
• Turf or lawn areas where soil tests performed within the past three years confirm that the phosphorous levels are deficient based upon the standards established in the Maryland Department of Agriculture’s Maryland Nutrient Management Manual. The fertilizer application shall not contain an amount of phosphorous exceeding the amount and rate of application recommended based on the soil test.
• Gardens, including vegetable and flower, trees, and shrubs, and indoor applications, including green houses
• Yard waste compost or other similar materials that are primarily organic in nature and are applied to improve the physical condition of the soil.
