spinnerbait, cottonseed meal and lawn clippings decays at the bottom of the pond to produce biological feeding source for invertebrates. The invertebrates consumed, and recompact the biological matters in a slower release form. What every biological decay that remain, the release of carbon and nitrogen from the plant matters will provide the ponds a quick boost of N and K source for other plants to grow, which then fuel the oxygen generation by the plants that exist within the pond. Rather than using the fast acting and fast release lawn/pond fertilizer in solid or liquid forms, natural methods is much safer, and more ecologically balanced.
Fish health coincides with pond's health. So, be on the look out for bacterial, invertebrates, pathogenic, and weeds infestations. Also be on the look out for high suspended solids and turbidity.
