Great info CJ, I just got back from the pond. Cleared a bunch of the underbrush and saplings out. Duckweed has almost blown all the way across the pond to one side. I also checked the muck. It is only about 6 to 8 inches deep before I hit hard bottom. I checked all the way around the pond and it was consistent. Will I be able to run my frontend loader or bull dozer and scoop this out, or what is the preferred method. I did not break open the dam to drain the pond yet. Still lots more work to get it where I can mow or bush hog around it, but already looks much better. If I can figure out how to post a picture from my iPhone I will put up some before and afters so y'all can see my progress and continue to give me pointers. Thanks again for everyone's advice and help!
