Best Management Practices to Prepare for a Rain Event

• Sweep up loading area - no spilled fertilizer prills!

• Do a trash sweep around the facility

• Park all spray equipment out of the rain- under cover

• Place filter socks in runoff channels to reduce speed

• Clean out catch basins, runoff channels and ditches

• Cover your soil pile

• Sweep potting area to prevent soil mix runoff

• Filter socks around the perimeter where water is likely to leave your property. You want to slow it down so the sediment will settle out before the water exits.

• Do not spray or fertilize today

• Sweep up loose soil in exposed production blocks

• Cover exposed hillsides to reduce cutting

• Enjoy the free water
