Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Muddy water Muddy Water....Im sure this is redundant.

Jeff_G,

First off...Welcome to the forum...It sounds like you have a really neat pond!

As for your clay problems. I suggest you read the thread titled Alum kicks Clay Butt in the Muddy Water section...there is a wealth of information amongst the hyjacks and humor.

In your area, you may need a combined approach to clear the water long term...First get a soil sample test from both inside the pond basin and surrounding soils to see if iit needs Lime...it probably does. You may also want to add a couple tons of Gypsum follwed after that with an Alum treatment.
