Dave Willis said in part: "I think part of this infertility comes from the ground water movement through the ponds."
I have a dug pond on the property, and about 50% of the bottom of the pond is below the water table level when we dug it. I notice that the water seems to clear up pretty quickly, and it doesn't seem to keep an algae bloom going for very long.
It will vary in size from 1 3/4 ac to 1 ac depending on the time of the year. Right now it's dropped almost 10" since the last rain 2 weeks ago. (very sandy soil, and only ran into clay at 9' down, but that was mixed with gravel)
Given that scenario, do you have any suggestions on fertilization application rates and timing? The pond is located 30 miles SW of South Bend, IN.
Thanks!
