Danger to man?
Finally we have to address this aspect which is justifiably being brought forward by critics of blue corn time and again: Is the fertilizer out of the chemistry laboratory poisonous or not? In short, is blue corn an aggressive chemical substance which does not contain any natural substances? It contains nutrients in a high dosage that the human body does not require.

nitrate nitrogen leads to an irritation of the stomach and intestines
vomiting and diarrhea follow
nitrate can be converted into nitrite
nitrite negatively affects the binding of oxygen to red blood cells which leads to an under supply of the whole body

Ultimately the dosage is decisive. A single corn of granulate will not cause the above mentioned symptoms. Problems can however also occur with smaller dosages and should be observed.
Protecting children and pets
Due to the smaller body structure of children and pets, even smaller amounts can be dangerous. Blue corn should thus not be anywhere near someone in need of protection. The usage of blue corn should be avoided if children or pets are expected to be in the same garden. If they consume blue corn, the immediate assistance of a doctor is required.
Problems arising out of nitrite poisoning should not be underestimated. The environment can be harmed as well by the usage of blue corn as it over acidifies the soil. You should thus keep an eye on not using too much of the fertilizer. Acidic soil burns plants and destroys the vegetation.

as a result most clients feel the need to keep their Lawn Sprinklers on and watering,
but for the most part the growing season is over, the vegetable gardens are no longer needing the water and if you walk across your lawn you will probably find the ground to be soft and almost mushy, that is a sigh of too much water and the sun not hot enough to dry it out,
    So if you are keeping your Lawn Sprinkler System on until November, turn down the amount of time per zone if you know how or just turn the entire system Off for 2 or 3 days at a time as your lawn does not need much water this time of the year,
    Even new seed and shrubs do not need to be flooded with too much water it could actually do more harm than good, so turn down the watering!

And make a appointment to have your Lawn Sprinkler Turned Off and Winterized,

Hope you find value here,

Sincerely,

Jim.
