Traditional fertilization practices have certainly caused surface and groundwater pollution, but banning the application of certain nutrients is not the answer. The application of both nitrogen and phosphorus can be problematic. Chemical fertilizers that are highly concentrated cause water pollution even when they are applied at the recommended rates when followed too soon by a heavy rain or too much irrigation.

The answer to this dilemma is to start using more sustainable practices and natural products, such as AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers. The recycling of nutrients through the return of grass clippings (using a mulching mower) stimulates soil biological activity and supplies at least two pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per year without causing any pollution. The application of low levels of AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers that contain fish, kelp and humates, plus adding corn gluten meal, stimulates the proliferation of microbes and earthworms, which readily fix these forms of nutrients before they ever get into lakes, rivers or streams. As the creatures in the soil multiply, they excreted by other organisms, which releases nutrients slowly as plants need them.
