You may thinkindustrial wastesaccount for mostwater pollution,but more than 60percent is

actually from sources closer tohome—like oil leaking from cars,fertilizers from lawns and gardens,and human waste from failingseptic tanks. How can you fertilizeyour lawn, landscaping, andgarden without contributing to

water pollution? Use fertilizerssparingly. Most plants don’t needas much fertilizer as you mightthink. And most people use morethan necessary, and more thanthe directions call for. You mightwant tohave yoursoil testedfor nutrientstatus. Usea mulching

mower. Don’t feed your plantswhen meteorologists arepredicting rain. Consider usingorganic fertilizers; they releasenutrients more slowly. Use commercially availablecompost or make your own fromgarden waste. If you mix compostwith your soil, your plants willneed less chemical fertilizer. Besure to store all fertilizers andpesticides in a cool, dry placeaway from children and pets.
