Wall Lake Orland, Indiana

 FERTILIZER USE AND WATER QUALITY

Wall Lake Residents,

We need your assistance in helping the water quality in Wall lake.

If you fertilize your lawn. Please use ZERO phosphate.

All fertilizer labels have three bold numbers. 

-The first number is the amount of nitrogen (N), 

-The second number is the amount of phosphate (P2O5) 

- The third number is the amount of potash (K2O). 

These three numbers represent the primary nutrients (nitrogen(N) - phosphorus(P) - potassium(K)

Too much of the phosphorus can speed up the growth of algae in rivers and lakes. 

We need everyone’s help, as we are seeing a slow increase in the phosphorus. We feel that each family can make a difference. Thank you.
