Is it just me, or do others get the impression that fertilizer and chemical eradication of pond vegetation seem to go hand in hand?
Our biggest mistake was fertilizing a new pond. We have maintained a feeding program the following three years with bottom diffuser aeration system. Visibility has been maintained at a near constant 18 inches.
Heavy infestation of algae and bushy pond weed this year, that is now being controled with grass carp and tilapia.
Fish poop is more than enough fertilizer – biological weed control only – no fertilizer or chemicals for Me……
