As for Superbowl XLV, your analysis leads me to believe you are a wise man!!!

Go Packers!


You two and your Green Bay love fest are making me nauseous! sick grin

The rest of the forum and I will enjoy watching the Pack get dismantled on Sunday and will accept your humble apologies on Monday (we'll give you the evening to mourn!)! laugh

On a pondier note, RC is right that aeration could have a good impact for you, especially if you have a fair amount of good clay still generally exposed. Aeration would likely help you maintain a fairly clean bottom for a much longer period. Just remember that it will help dissolve organics, but may not be as effective on actual dirt/silt that runs into the pond. If you have that sort of runoff, there are a lot of solutions to helping prevent that, including building settling ponds and wetlands that filter the dirt and other nutrients out before the water finally enters your pond.

Got any pics of your place?
