There is a high price, not only financially but environmentally, when someone fertilizes excessively. I probably sound like I'm venting, but fingers have always been pointed, and will continue to be pointed at the golf course industry, and for these reasons I believe managers go above and beyond to ensure that fish survive to swim another day. If you ask me I will preach 100% that golf courses should be modeled after for their excellent management of water and fertilizers.
I enjoy camping when I'm not messing with my tank!
