Has anyone ever tried using turf builder for pond fertilizer? I apply Scott’s to my lawn this time of year and just had the idea that it may work in a pond. My normal fertilizer is Pond Pro (10-52-4) and my turf builder is 28-3-4. Also is a weed and feed a really dumb idea? Had the idea that if broadcasted of FA mays it may kill it and provide a little nutrients also. Any thoughts? Am I Crazy? The weed killer in my weed and feed is 2-4d, would that be detrimental to my fish?

IMHO that would not be a good idea. With the Pond Pro, notice the key second number (Phosphate/Phosphorus) is 52 and with your turf builder it is at 3. That will pretty much guarantee the turf builder will not get a bloom going in your pond. With respect to the weed and feed, this comment applies to all herbicides....never put a herbicide on the shore of your pond or in the pond that does not specifically say on the label it is safe for pond use.
Not a pro...just my 1 cent
