The answer would be a resounding no. All those lawn products are heavy Nitrogen loaded. Usually a 10-1-1 ratio. You throw that in a pond and you are going to have the mother of all algae blooms. In fact, lawn fertilizer run off is a major cause of algae blooms in ponds. You wants a plankton bloom you need a pond specific fertilizer. Something along the lines of a 1-4-1 ratio. Or a 1-4-0. Those chain stores just don't have the volume buying to stock pondmeister products. Same as soil for aquatic plants. Suttlefish has a great range of products. Even a 0-46-0. Of course the answer is it depends on what you want to accomplish. You ever get those photos or what?
