This is an old thread but a great read about ridding leaves and it dabbles in the topic of using beneficial bacteria or even using Channel Cats as tools to rid yourself of muck.
I know that esshup is doing some experiments in his client's ponds over the past year with good bacteria and having good results.
beneficial bacteria link thanks! I actually found this thread while searching and read through it. good valuable info.
My pond is about 1/2 acre or so and is an old clay pit. It reaches about 25 foot deep. I am surrounded by woods so it gets a bit of leaf debris that is settled on the bottom. We just moved there 2 years ago. The water is clear, but this year for the first time I am getting FA. Not usre why, my best guess is extra nutrients from the debris etc. Id like to try some bacteria to see if it helps. It is not aerated.
