Hi Guys
Last year i dug a small 1/4 acre pond which is clay based and is approximately 8-14 feet in depth, The water has never become clear, and people have told me that this is due to clay particles suspended in the water. I have also heard that adding gypsum, limestone, or certain types of straw can clear the water up. Does anyone have any info on this? or had sucess with any of the above? or have any other recommendations? and if so how long will it work for?
thanks for your help
