Yeah, i have read all over that 20% coverage is the idea situation, but I find it almost impossible to do this in my situation with the coontail we have around here. Only way i see it happening is spraying throughout the year with reward/cutrine. We don't have the pocket book for that.
Its either you have a bad infestation like our 30 acre lake. Or you have a moderate problem like this 7 acre lake which keeps the water clear and keeps us from ever really doing something with the lake as far as fertile water goes.
Thats why i added all the structure i could and pushed all the trees in. I feel its all or nothing so i think i'll kill it off once and see how it works with the carp we have as far as how long it stays gone and how the water reacts to the nutrient boost. I need to do something, so i think for the money the whitecap will just start the lake over and if it last fine, if it doesn't and the weeds come back next year just as bad we'll probably just let it be. Its just tough when you start managing larger bOW's.
Anyways, I guess i'll just go with my own thoughts as far as killing the moss and looking to get the natural bloom and then spending money on feeding to best help my situation. Maybe i answered my own questions as it seems im not getting any new suggestions for now.
