My pond is only 60'x40' and about 11' at the deepest. We have major silt build up on the bottom and I am wondering how to go about cleaning it? The sides are too steep to get machinary in. There are no fish in it now, but would like to put some in this spring/summer.
I have lots of suspended particles and have had no luck using Ag Gypsum in the past.
This pond is stream fed by runoff most of the year and topped of with well water during the rare very hot dry month. There are lots of plants growing in the shallows but nothing down deep.
Will adding air to the bottom help?
I do have a small (8') decorative windmill and would like to know if there is any way to retrofit it for pumping air?
Any advise or suggestions are deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
