Cecil,
No, I do not have a diffuser or any aeration set up. The garbage can idea may speed things up a bit over a 5 gallon pail, assuming application by spraying could be by-passed.

Ryan, the corner of the pond with the algae problem (about 1/3rd of an acre of the 2 acre pond) has steep banks with lots of blackberries and oak. The only way I can effectively spray would be to load my spray rig into my rowboat, which would be a pain and an invitation to capsize the boat.

Anybody else with experience using Cutrine by mixing and dumping as opposed to spraying? Thanks.
