water tested-what about lime? - 05/09/10 09:43 PM
Hello to all, newbie here. I have bought some property with a 2 acre pond on it and need some advice. The water is fairly muddy, maybe 12 inches clarity. The pond is surrounded by vegetation. There is some FA but not alot. I took a water sample to the local ag ext agent and got the following readings:
PH-7.3, Hardness-36, alkalinity-22 (ppm as CaCO3) Nitrate-N 1, EC-122, Sodium-10, Calcium-9, TSS-84. I have been advised by previous owner to add lime. With these readings, how much should be added? There is lmb and perch in pond now.
Thanks for the help.
