Thank you once again for the information.


Auger holes won't do poop for aerating a pond, unless you can auger enough holes to equal at least 10% of the pond surface area. And keep them open 24/7.

Get the magazine, there is a winter aeration article in the Jan/Feb back issue, and another one will be done this Fall.
