Don't drink the water

Do you have specific examples or is this just a blind broad brush baseless statement?

Actually, I do have specifics. I try to avoid making “blind broad brush baseless statements”.

There are many smart, thoughtful yard people and excellent hardware stores who do not understand that they should not be using any phosphorous-based fertilizers near the lake. Our watershed is like a giant bowl, and everything flows into the water.

Nest time you're speaking with your yard person or you're at the store buying fertilizer yourself, make sure the middle number (of the 3 numbers on the bag) is 0. If it is not zero, your gardener is sending phosphorous into the lake.
