Another update on this project. And a couple of new questions. But first a picture:
The pond (puddle) is about half the size of what the picture shows now. I forgot to take my camera when I went to check this morning. The siphon quit sucking so it won't drain any further. The water that's left is about a foot deep (with maybe another foot or so of muck underneath). It is roughly a circle that's 40 feet across. I would like to use hydrated lime to kill everything that's left in it. How do I calculate how much to use? Or is it just trial and error until I get the pH to 11? Also, our dog likes to swim in the pond. Should we keep him tied so he doesn't get in it? How long should we keep him tied? Or will he avoid it on his own?
