Healthy soils mean a healthy lawn and a healthy environment. As you begin to clean up your yard this spring and apply fertilizers and herbicides, we would like to remind you to be careful for both your own health and the health of the environment.  Take the time to carefully read labels and apply these products properly. These efforts not only reduce costs to you while still maintaining a beautiful, healthy lawn, but also reduce the contamination of the environment and local waterbodies.  You might find it helpful to use this handy fertilizer calculator to determine the best mix for your yard. Vendors are also increasingly aware of the negative impacts of chemicals in the environment and have a variety of organic options available, ask your garden center for more information.  Visit our website to learn more about stormwater: www.westfordma.gov/stormwater.
