LA LOOKS HOW FERTI L I ZERS AFFECT PONDS During the summer months fertilizers are widely used in lawns. Excessive amount and careless application can create problems to nearby ponds. Fertilizers are primarily made up of phosphorus and ni trogen and when introduced to a nearby pond, they can increase the nutrient levels. Increase nutrient levels increase the chances of algae to bloom. The white specks pictured are fertilizer granules that were introduced into one of the ponds in Lake Ashton. Please remind lawn care contractors to use caution when fertilizing lawns to limit the amount of product that can potentially makes its way into the ponds, either directly or indirectly. If you have any questions or concerns regarding aquatic maintenance in any ponds located in Lake Wales, contact Operations Manager Matt Fisher at mfisher@lakeashtoncdd.com.
