Well, after almost two years of waiting on contractors, having contractors backing out, and weather delays, my new contractor should be here next week. I am enlarging a ~1/4 acre pond to somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of and acre (depending on budget). Now, for the question.
Should I lime the bottom and around the edges of the pond before it begins to fill in. The deepest parts of the pond will be around 8 feet deep. The water in the existing pond always stayed muddy. Tea color for the most part. Should I wait and see if by deepening it, the water will clear.
Thanks

Have you had your soil and/or water tested?
