Where, in this thread, did I recommend one over the other? They both serve a useful function. One disappears in my ponds in one growing season; one has lasted for 75 years with no re-stocking or even initial stocking. I won't hesitate to use FH's again in a start-up pond; neither will I turn my back on a free resource that will over the long haul, far outproduce the FH that is already dead. What is odd about that?
