Hi All. I am continuing to improve our 3/4 acre pond in Ohio. We use the water for the house and all is good. I have maybe 6 12" logs submerged in the pond. I have added Christmas trees, pallets, and now have some vegetation including cattails.
My question is about the wisdom of adding more logs. I will be taking down some 6" to 16" logs - Maple, Oak, and several species I am not familiar with. I was planning on putting them in. My wife is concerned the logs could have a negative effect on the water quality.
Are some species good and some bad? Leave bark on or remove? Any advice much appreciated.
