I have some photos of it in this thread: http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=97240&fpart=1 Last edited by GW; 10/06/08 12:07 AM.

Just put 8 oz in a 5 gallon bucket filled with water and pour around the pond. Definitely research the fluridone, though. It is not for every pond and has some irrigation restrictions.
