We at the Rice Creek Water- <br />shed District would like to share the fol- <br />lowing tips for maintaining your lawn and <br />yard while protecting our waterways. <br />Don’t leave leaves behind. Always bag <br />or compost leaves to ensure they are not <br />washing into nearby lakes and streams. <br />This will help prevent algae blooms caused <br />by too many nutrients (from decomposing <br />leaves) in our lakes and streams. <br />To fertilize or not to fertilize: that is the <br />question. Find out how much fertilizer <br />your yard needs and when to apply it by <br />having your soil tested at the University of <br />Minnesota’s Soil Testing Laboratory. You <br />will save money and keep excess fertilizer <br />from washing into the nearest waterway. <br />Fertilize in late summer through early fall, <br />and never before the ground is completely <br />thawed. <br />Mow less for a greener, healthier yard. Let <br />your grass grow at least three inches tall <br />this year. The extra length will allow it to <br />absorb more sunshine, making a healthier <br />and more weed-resistant lawn. <br />Be water wise. Use native plants when <br />landscaping. They are more tolerant of <br />Minnesota weather and therefore need <br />less water and overall maintenance. Water <br />gardens and grass in the mornings when <br />temperatures are cool and apply water as <br />close to the ground as possible. <br />Scoop the poop! Always be sure to pick <br />up after your pet. Animal waste left on the <br />ground is not only smelly and unsightly, it <br />poses risks to human health and negatively <br />impacts water quality. <br />Tips for caring for your lawn and yard <br />from the Rice Creek Watershed District
