I'm not really a patient researcher and my apologies if this question has been answered before. My pond is down over seven feet with the drought; not dry yet, but getting close. The low water level is giving me an excellent opportunity to clear some unwanted brush around the pond. I see a perfect basin in which to pile the debris to burn now that our state's burn ban has been lifted. My question is: if I do this, will the remaining ash somehow negatively effect the pH or some other paramater of the water quality should we get some significant rain this spring which brings the water level back up to the point it mixes with the existing water, which still supports some LMB and forage fish? Thanks for your thoughts.
