When I compare the Whatcom Blend (right out of the bag) to what I'd gathered at Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:21:56 GMT Dane http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5356 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5356 Just keep being vigilant, Bill. The best way to get answers is to ask questions.

It couldn't have been spiked with any weed/moss killer in it because that would have required a WSDA report form Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:15:14 GMT Gwen Hunter http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5354 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5354 I wonder if it could have been a combination fertilizer/de-icer, like sulfer-coated urea. It doesn't make sense to fertilize frozen ground. I wasn't aware Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:10:04 GMT Bill Black http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5353 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5353 Gwen et Al, And thank you Gwen. I am aware what "Whatcom Blend" is. I'm not completely sure, though, that what was spread was, in fact, Whatcom Blend. I'll Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:50:42 GMT Gwen Hunter http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5352 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5352 Thank you, Bill. We need this kind of diligence around the reservoir. The Lake Whatcom Blend is a phosphorus-free fertilizer made by the Whatcom Farmers' Coop Mon, 14 Dec 2009 05:26:10 GMT Dane http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5351 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lakewhatcom/message/5351 I read the article and it was worth the read.
