I cut nine cedar trees today and chucked em in the pond. I think there are probably enough in there now, but I haven't made my mind up completely on that. I'd liked to have gotten a few more out on the ice over the deep hole, but the ice isn't safe to walk on and I'm not man enough to throw a 20'-30' tree that far. Two or three more big ones on the shelf next to the pallets might be good.
I've located a local source for aluminum sulfate. $34 and change for a 50lb bag and no shipping charges to get it here.
Tomorrow I'm going to chop a hole in the ice to dip some water for a jar test, and order another load of 2"x4" crushed limestone. It will need to either freeze or dry up some before I can start placing it on the inside face of the dam, but it will be here and available when conditions improve.
