I haven't tried to order any this year and I think I am the only one that uses AQ from my dealer. I just started using it last year.
Hopefully they get things fixed I, if not I guess I will try and find the best substitute. I do know you can have a good fishing pond without feeding I have for years. I really enjoy feeding my fish and the results have been good.
I have seen the bunker boats in Venice La. And it makes you wonder about the harvest. But us pond owners use very little of it compared to where the bulk of it goes.
As far as dogs my beagles like it but they can and do eat about anything.
