ANNAPOLIS, MD (November 10, 2023 ) ~ The Maryland Department of Agriculture is reminding citizens and lawn care professionals that the fertilizer blackout dates authorized by Maryland's Lawn Fertilizer Law will begin on November 16 and end March 1, 2024. This is to help protect local streams and the Chesapeake Bay from runoff during late fall and winter when grass typically goes dormant and cannot benefit from the additional nutrients.
From November 16 through December 1, lawn care professionals may apply up to 0.5 pound of soluble or insoluble nitrogen per 1,000 square feet to lawns they manage. Potassium and lime may still be applied to lawns during the blackout period. However, fertilizer products should never be used to melt ice on sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces as this can easily wash into storm drains, creeks, and streams that empty into the Chesapeake Bay.
Citizens and lawn care professionals may resume lawn fertilizer applications containing nitrogen and phosphorus on March 1, 2024 as long as the ground is not frozen or heavy rain is not predicted. A soil test is required before phosphorus may be applied to established lawns. In addition, licenses are required for individuals and businesses that fertilize turf.
