Rex, the FA scenario was exactly what I was expecting. But, FA has been almost nonexistent this spring. What I did see happen was high tannins, and an early start to aquatic growth. The coontail not only started early, it exploded with the additional nutrients. I'll never figure all this out.

Tracy, no problem at all. Just thought I'd throw it out there. I sure can't use it, so I'll keep sticking gallon jugs of fertilizer under the junk in the back of highflyer's truck. He'll never read this thread, so I'm safe.


With all the rain you guys got, the decay nutrients may have just flowed right on through your ponds into the gulf....
