What is Louisville Green?
Louisville Green is an organic-based fertilizer suitable for many uses. This fertilizer provides slow-release nitrogen and is made of organic, nutrient rich and highly treated solids left over after municipal wastewater treatment. It is useful as a fertilizer to improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth. “Slow-release fertilizers provide a steady supply of plant nutrients over an extended period of time. They require fewer applications because the materials are held in the soil and gradually release the nutrients” [per Healthy Lawn and Garden Technical Advisory Committee] Most fertilizers are designed to dissolve quickly by rain. Heavy rains can leach the nitrogen into streams, causing too much algae and robbing oxygen from fish. Louisville Green instead breaks down slowly, keeping nutrients in the soil and available to the plants. The slow release allows the plants to get the nutrients they need and greatly reduces negative impacts to streams. One of the major b
