If this really is algae, wouldn't I have to spray it with a liquid in order to have a chance to penetrate the mat? I prefer granules, but I tried that last year and it seemed like the granules just sat on top. Maybe I got impatient, but we finally pulled what we could out of the lake with rakes. The lake looked a lot better, but it made a mess of the shorelines. With so much of this stuff, what's the preferred application method to reach it all and have a chance to minimize it?
