Good to know on why you put the FHM in the year prior. I don't think i'm that patient. What'd be wrong with adding more FHM's later in the year....and/or more next year if the concern would be that the initial batch was all eaten?

ALso - regarding Food, how long does a 50lb bag of food last in 1/4 acre? i've no idea how much would be fed per feeding...as i've seen drastically different feeding programs (length of time for it to be consumed) and frequency.

So, is this realistic for stocking :
HBD - 250ea 3-5" (or more)
RES - 100ea 1-3" (or more)
FHM - 3LBS
- And best place to purchase the food?


Feed - what works best?
Aquamax 500 50lb?
Optimal BLuegill 40lb
Carfgill 40-10

Thoughts on the above?

The place i'm getting them from does not carry HSB - SO, i suppose it'd be wise to NOT sub those for LGM...and instead wait and locate HSB later...right?

Thanks

.20 acre pond-that leaks/4-5' deep. Stocked 6/22/19 with 300 BG(supposed to be HBG, removed 100+/- so far), 100 RES, 3carp. On 8/20 added 300 HBG, + 21 5"HSB. 8/21 added 5 8" SMB, one 10" LMB , one 14" CC
