Thanks for info on my muddy water problem. I added the two tablespoons of vinegar and we'll see what happens. Will wheat straw work or regular hay? I don't think we have much barely raised around here, but I never had cause to ask either. A substantial portion of my pond watershed is planted in wheat or oats this spring, if the straw was left in the field, would the run off work? Assuming the vinegar test plays out positive.

I don't need clear water just so it doesn't look like choco milk and will be a healthy environment to grow my fishery.

Thanks again to all the posters on this thread and my many previous questions. I watched this weeks pond boss video on Facebook, that is some good stuff. I would highly recommend it, great way to spend an hour.
