bassmanjg,


There is a much easier, significantly cheaper, and arguably far more effective approach to be considered.....buy the amount of lime needed in bulk at a local feed/fertilizer store that serves area ranchers. Their price will likely include the cost of spreading the lime. Have them back up the spreader truck at several locations around the pond and let it fly. The truck will throw large amounts in the water as well as on the surrounding banks..both will help you. The whole thing can be accomplished in no time and you will not have a sore back or sore checkbook and your fish will love the results. This approach should last a minimum of 5 years.
