Phosphorus Bill

On Dec. 16, 2010, Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed legislation into law that will eventually curb the application of lawn fertilizer containing phosphorus in most situations. House Bill 5368, introduced by Rep. Terry Brown (D-Winsor Twp.), would prohibit the use of phosphorus in lawn fertilizer beginning Jan. 1, 2012, except to correct a phosphorus deficiency, to establish new turf grass or on a golf course under certain circumstances. The bill becomes Public Act 299 of 2010.
The new act also prohibits the application of lawn fertilizer to turf less than 15 feet from any surface water unless there exists a continuous natural vegetative buffer of at least 10 feet wide that separates the turf from the water body or unless specific types of equipment are used when applying the fertilizer and the fertilizer is not applied within three feet of the surface water.

Talking In Their Sleep

“You think I am dead,”
The apple tree said,
“Because I have never a leaf to show-
Because I stoop,
And my branches droop,
And the dull gray mosses over me grow!
But I’m still alive in trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
I fold away-
But I pity the withered grass at my root.”
“You think I am dead,”
The quick grass said,
“Because I have parted with stem and blade!
But under the ground,
I am safe and sound
With the snow’s thick blanket over me laid.
I’m all alive, and ready to shoot,
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here-
But I pity the flower without branch or root.”
“You think I am dead,”
A soft voice said,
“Because not a branch or root I own.
I never have died, but close I hide
In a plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Patient I wait through the long winter hours;
You will see me again-
I shall laugh at you then,
Out of the eyes of a hundred flowers.
This poem was written by Edith M. Thomas.
