Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization fertilizing and watermeal

Meadowlark I agree with you on this one. No one really answered specifically for watermeal. It grows on the surface so no feritlzing will not help shad it out. IN fact nutrient loading is one of the worst things to do for watermeal. SO DO NOT FETILIZE A POND WITH WATERMEAL PLEASE! We work lots of problem ponds with this stuff I feel for the pondowner but by reducing nutreints we have had better luck ridding of the world's smallest plant.

Meadow/Cody I agre this time but I'm still fighting you on the postivies of fertilizer though. You make your point every chance you get about the potential negatives of pond fertilizaiton. I'm just surprised more people have not stood up for how important it is in SE ponds where we have naturally poor prodution.

Glad you have your inputs but if I was a pondowenr from GA and read some of the post about feritlizing I would think it is the worst pond mgmt pratice. While in reality "depending on goals" it is probably the most important aspect.
