Fertilizers Banned in Miami-Dade County During Rainy Season |
|
Miami-Dade County's new fertilizer ordinance in effect until October 31st. The ordinance's goal is to reduce pollution into our waterways and to avoid fish kills and algae blooms to improve the health of Biscayne Bay.
The basic outline of the residential ordinance requirements include:
- Only use fertilizer with 0% phosphorus.
- Apply fertilizer at least 20 ft. away from storm drains or waterways.
- Use fertilizer with a mix of at least 65% slow release nitrogen.
- Do not use any fertilizer May 15th - October 31st.
Back in 2021, the Palmetto Bay Village Council passed Resolution No. 2021-63 adopting the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Model Ordinance for Florida-Friendly Fertilizer use for urban landscapes. The resolution provided for limitations on nitrogen and phosphorous in fertilizer use, which have been found to be contributors to water quality degradation.
