Greg, Please advise about fertilizer. Water temp is 71. I would like to use your fertilizer but cant wait much longer.

Thanks, Jake

YEah water temp went from 47 to 59 in one day in south GA last Sun. However look at the front coming in. Cold temps again will blummit the pond water and delay the application a couple of weeks. I have 4 pallets (tons) of water soluble fertilizer in stock, so let me know if heading this way. Thanks Greg

Greg, Thanks for the reply, I need to get with you on the fertilizer. I am concerned about my alkalinity. I purchased the Cole Palmer kit talked about here. I added 10 tons to my 2.5 a pond the week before Christmas, prior to the 10 tons my alk was 15. Checked it this week 10 weeks after the addition of the lime and it is only up to 20. Should it continue to go up over the next several weeks? Should I add more lime? I want to make sure that I get a good bloom this year. Thanks for all your help. Your participation on this site is appreciated by many.

Jake
