Called Greg Grimes place today and talked to a guy that works for him. Told him about my idea to draw my pond down this summer several feet to try to kill water lilies. He suggested that a winter draw down would be more effective than a summer draw down.

Anyone done this on their pond or lake?

I figured since we were in a bad drought and that it looked like it was going to persist into the spring and summer that it would be a good time to lower the water level.

Got a quote from the guy at Greg's business for a whitecap treatment. Said I would need to buy the gallon of whitecap which runs $1600.

Wasn't really wanting to pay that much, but if it's the only option I might have to.
