Phosphate Free World?

I have read that NY is trying to handle algae problems in lakes.  In long island, they banned phosphate in lawn fertilizer.

If you could not get phosphate for your food plots.  What would you do differently?   I could imagine my love affection for clover would not be so strong....  

Just something to think about...

Sailing, I had the same problem last year but my local co-op which was very hard to find has some phosphorus heavy fertilizer. I know your camp is up north so I'm sure up there it is even harder to find. There are articles on why NY has strict laws on fertilizer but I find most of it to be bs.

Currently, no problems getting it.  I keep around 3 years worth in my garage just incase.

Phosphate may be banned, but bonemeal will likely never be....

Just curious if anyone has thought about it.   I hope it doesn't happen.

Also, if it does part of my plan B is just to use nature's fertilizer more.  Besides, my soil need conditioning.  And my neighbor has about 30 sheep and little motivation to muck their muck out.....
