The easiest way to lime I know of...
Call an ag center that does pasture liming, order what you need, then back up the lime truck to the pond and let it rip.
The spreaders put out a big swath of coverage. They get some on the banks but if you do this where your run-off water runs through it, presto more lime in your pond.
This is so easy, and so effective I just marvel at all those contraptions and the hard work involved in putting this stuff out from a boat. Hey, have them drive the truck around the perimeter with the spreader open. It takes no time to put 7 tons and its done for several years.
p.s. for Theo....this technique comes to you from the piney woods of East Texas
