Headed to town today to try to find some treatment. I think I remember seeing it before, hope they still have it. It's gotten cold again and the FA bloom we had a few weeks ago has dissappeared, I think this might be a good time to start looking for it on the bottom and treating it.

You might want to check with Esshup before building a dock out of barrels. He made a nice one, but as I recall after all was said and done if he did it again he would just buy the commercial dock floats.

Have to ask him the particulars.


I did some searching for his thread but didn't find it. Have a link?

I know people...
I'm moving in a different direction right now but this idea certainly hasn't left my head. I could get someone who could scoop it out I have a skidsteer that can I can relocate it with. I can't see it being a bad thing to make a deeper spot, just don't want it to fill in quickly afterwards.

What about a vac truck in the summer when its dry that you could have the truck drive down to the dock?

Cheers Don.
