It is easier to spread lime in pond basin when water is low, assuming you are not using a boat. Put most on the bank where water will be 2-3 ft deep when full. ![[Linked Image from i26.photobucket.com]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/ewest1/Limetruck2013photo2_zps9e1f79b8.jpg)

Does Alkalinity in the water have to do with the area you are in or what ?
I was curious and pulled out my Water Report and it shows 110 ppm
That seems like a huge difference from what I'm reading here

60-150 ppm (mg/l) is desired for best fish growth (healthy ecosystem). 60% of surface water in KS is 100-300.
This is also a pH buffer to subdue wild swings ..
To better answer your question, yes, it has a lot to do with location, water source and what substrate that water flows through/over before it gets to pond.

Jason D. This is only pond or lake I’ve ever had, so I really don’t know for sure. I’ve thought it may be due to the amount of pine trees. I know pine needles make the soil acidic, so that water going into my lake is also acidic?
