ewest,
well stated in both post. You're right not an easy answer. It is funny I harp on fertilizer but fertilize less than 20% of clients. Like Frank said too much water, no desire to maximize production (not enough bass taken out anyway), asethetics, etc.
I do try to compensate with feeding program for lack of fertilizaiton program. Not sure it equals out?? But the fact is fertilizing a pond attempts to promtoe more phyto to reach more zoo plankton to grow more aquatic insects TO DO WHAT? that's right to feed bluegill. So if we can feed the bluegill properly it does make up for lack of fertilzing. As far as total produciton in lbs sounds like a research project to me.
