AKRISONER Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) honestly blame the United States, Ontario has basically banned the use of most fertilizers specifically for this reason. Until we learn that a green lawn 400 days of the year is not of pure necessity this will keep happening. Edited July 14, 2015 by AKRISONER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Can we blame the farmers? I guess we could and make them use an organic fertilizer, which would wash untreated bacteria (Crap) into the water table. Or we could shut the farmers down and buy our fruits and vegetables from countries like India, China, South America, Africa; which all still use DDT as an insecticide? It's a pretty vicious circle.
