<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 19, 2012) A string of unusually warm, even hot, weather this week may bring the green back into many North Country lawns, but horticulturist Amy Ivy says it&apos;s simply too early for raking and reseeding, and far too early for feeding the grass.She had plenty of tips, including new restrictions on using phosphorous, in her conversation with Martha Foley this morning.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/1781/20020827/seeking-culprits-for-lake-erie-dead-zone</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 27, 2002) Back in the 1970&apos;s Lake Erie was considered dead.  Too manynutrients were flowing into the lake, causing algae blooms that used up the oxygen.  Massive fish kills were one result.  Until recently, scientists thought they had the problem licked.  But a few years ago, researchers began to realize those conditions were returning.  Zebra mussels could be one culprit, but scientists aren&apos;t sure.  So the U-S EPA has launched a research ship to gather data that might help to unravel the mystery.  TheGreat Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Karen Schaefer reports.
