Hello- I am new to the forum and would appreciate any suggestions. My brother and I are having serious overgrowth of aquatic plants in a 20 year old 4 acre pond used for fishing. We want to get our water tested for nutrients, etc. Do you know of labs in Franklin County or St. Louis County that will analyze the water and provide testing procedures.
We are working with local extension office on identifying problem plants. once we know what we are working with, do you make product suggestions for chemical controls.
We just finished working on dam, deepening sides of pond to 2 feet, deepest part is 18 feet. We have grass carp ordered. We are going to work on some riparian buffer. We are going to try some mechanical removal, but that is arduous. We have used all of the above over the years- just a tough year.
We have bass, bluegill and catfish and a lot of fun.
