Soilfloc follow-up - 12/21/15 11:50 PM
So...as a recap, when I treated my pond with Soilfloc I put some fiberglass poles in to mark my water level/treated area. Plan was to treat between the poles and the waterline after a rain, move the poles to the new waterline...lather, rinse, repeat until full.
We had a four inch rain late November that filled the bottom of my pond. I dropped a hose on the shore and emptied 2500 gallons of rainwater I had captured in a tank. After that we had a half inch rain. Without any further treating, my waterline, after a month with only a half inch of rain, is right where it was a month ago after the 4 inch rain.
So the leak I had must have been in the bottom of the pond when the water was very low.
I have since restocked (treatment killed off my pond due to a very low water level at the time of treatment).
I still have what is left of the Soilfloc to treat the bank, if needed, as my water level increases. Hoping to be at full pool when spring starts.
