VERO HEARING ON FERTILIZER ORDINANCE

from John Debus

On Tuesday, November 19th at 6pm, the City of Vero Beach will hold a public hearing regarding modifications to the existing Fertilizer Ordinance.  The Council's stated intent is to have an ordinance consistent with the County's for ease of education and enforcement.  The important modifications include:
  • the restriction of fertilizer application during the summer rainy season from June 1 - Sept 30
  • the requirement for at least 50% slow release nitrogen
  • the requirement for 0% phosphorus without a soil test
  • a required minimum fertilizer free zone of 10 feet around all water bodies

Please support your elected officials in this important decision by attending the meeting, making phone calls of support or sending emails.
