Have the Alum and have the Lime.......Now what. - 06/14/18 06:41 PM
Hey folks,
I have a .85 acre pond that has an 8 foot average depth. I have 3000lbs of Alum and 1000 lbs of Hydrated Lime. How in the heck to I spread all this?
I'm a one man show, have no help (little kids). I do have a john boat, a 2 inch trash pump (which I can't seem to figure out), and no real engineering skills.
At worse, I could fill some trash cans with water, make the slurry, put 5 gallon buckets on my boat and let the prop from the trolling motor do the work.
Any other thoughts? I don't have power to the pond, so the only mechanical equipment is the pump (Champion 2 inch which I had a terrible time messing with today).
Any thoughts appreciated. The pond is turbid.
Matt
