Dr.Dave this is a kind hearted bunch of folks so I mean no disrespect but you came to the wrong forum to start with this line of thought. This is the kind of post that causes me to pause and question. You gave an opinion and made it seem others were wrong.
I don't understand a post about something that is in conflict with the rest of the pond management world. I just ordered about $30,000 of our blend of 10-52-4. We spend lots of time and lots of years here to teach people about the proper ways to manage ponds and your post seems to be about a localized situation. Phosphorus is the limiting nutrient in most ponds...not nitrogen. I think it would be wise of you to look through this website before you suggest the advice you offered.
