Aquatic Plants

The best approach to weed control for those who live on the lake shoreline or near it with the lake is to avoid feeding the weeds.  Never use fertilizers on lawns or gardens where there is runoff to the lake - even the "organic" ones are bad.

Ever notice those three numbers on the fertilizer bag (ex: 10-10-10)?  They are percentages of Nitrogen - Phosphate – Potash.

Minimizing Phosphate is the key as this is the nutrient which enhances rapid root growth.
