Rookie here...please be easy on me. Up until 3 years ago I had a gravel pit on my property and had the landscaping company give me a pond when finished. Right now the pond is about 1.5 acres and maybe 8-10' deep. If and when the pond ever gets enough water to fill up, it will be 2.2 acres and about 12' deep. I have not stocked anything in the pond yet but want to this year and have been told I need aeration. I have a nice hill above the pond to put a windmill on and if I had to, I could run power to the pond for an electric system. I would like some advice on which way to go. Like everyone else, I want the cheapest upfront and operating cost. I really don't want to trench in a long AC run so I am leaning towards a windmill. Here is some more info and pictures of my pond:

Thoughts, suggestions, idea?
Thanks!
Lew
