New Rules For Using Lawn Fertilizers

New rules for using lawn fertilizers in New Jersey are in effect this spring for both professionals and homeowners. Late this year a ban starts on application during winter, when excessive nutrients are more likely to wash off lawns and get into waterways.

A March 1 to Nov. 15 season for homeowners who fertilize their own lawns.
A March 1 to Dec. 1 season for lawn care professionals, who convinced lawmakers they need the extra two weeks to wrap up their fall season.
Fertilizer must not be applied within 10 feet of a water body or left scattered on pavement.
Lawn fertilizers must contain at least 20 percent of their nutrients as slow-release nitrogen.
Phosphorus is being phased out of lawn fertilizer and will be allowed only in cases where a soil test reveals a specific deficiency in that nutrient. Slow-release nitrogen formulas will be phased in over the year.
Fines for violations can be up to $500 for a first offense or $1,000 for a second offense. The state Department of Environmental Protection can seek an additional civil penalty of $1,000 for egregious violators.
