MEMO TO TWIN ISLES MEMBERS
While performing weed removal, a representative of Clearwater noticed how green many lawns are adjacent to canals, indicating fertilizer use. Please read the following memo he did for another client.
BOTTOM LINE- WE CAN HELP PREVENT FUTURE WEED GROWTH BY:
-Do not fertilize within 10 feet of the water; AND
– Use fertilizer that does NOT contain phosphorous.
Thank You

., FERTILIZER INFORMATION for Lakes of Katy HOA
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium are the three main ingredients in fertilizers and usually represented as three numbers 20-5-12. The middle number is Phosphorus and Phosphorus is a key contributor to algae growth in the lakes. Please choose a fertilizer with a low middle number (low in Phosphorus) – Slow release fertilizers are also preferred.
Atrizine avoid Weed & Feed Fertilizers that contains Atrizine – this is a fast moving chemical that can pollute our water wells.
Starter Fertilizer – Never use starter fertilizer at the Lakes of Katy! This blend is very bad for our water quality.
Fertilizer Application – Please do not apply any fertilizers within 10 feet of the lakes!
