Truly correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that ANY "fertilizer" that is good for lawns would be "good" for in-water plant growth as well. Seems like the so-called "natural" fertilizers aren't good for the lake either as they promote ALL plant growth. Perhaps the only acceptable lawn treatment might be PH adjustment with judicious application of lime, but I'm not even sure about that one.
