According to the Environmental Protection Agency, being diligent about paying attention to the weather forecast can help the environment and save you money. If you plan to fertilize your lawn, do it when conditions are dry, not rainy. Fertilizing your lawn before a storm will simply cause it to run off the lawn and down the storm drain, where excess fertilizer can pollute rivers, lakes and other waterways. Wait for at least a 72-hour window of dry weather to maximize both your savings and environmental responsibility.
