[b said:Quote[/b] ]Well, I can jsut say from looking at construction sites that many construction workers do not care about plants and so I would say if there was anything on the property they should be protected some how. the best way is to remove them and replace them after construction is complete. That is just my opinion. At the very least a fence should be put around them.
Creating a run off channel would be the work of an afternoon for a pair of determined people and a trench digger.[b said:Quote[/b] (0zzy @ Dec. 27 2006,4:07)]My biggest fear is the way the land slopes. Even if we make sure the area remains untouched fertilizer from the yard is going to drain through the area into the lake. That'll be the end of the plants no matter what we do.
I understand, but the orders of magnitude it will be diluted is unknown, and with the lawns right up to the water on other lots, likely less than optimal. It cant be helped, so i guess it is moot.[b said:Quote[/b] ]It would get to the lake eventually through normal drainage. Besides, once in he lake it would be 1) diluted by many orders of magnitude and 2) probably metabolized by algae before it was able to back leach in to the soil.
