My Grandma used to say, "Part of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at." Now before I found this forum, I knew I didn't know much about pond management. But now I know I don't know a whole lot!
So, sorry if I'm changing goals on you. Like esshup pointed out, I've already saved a bunch of time & dollars and I've barely started.
So, if I stick with my original goal of having a low maintenance pond (no feeder) for fishing and putting some fillets in the freezer... LMB/BG/CC? How do I avoid stunted bass? Stock fewer of them? Stock more BG, and don't provide places for them to hide? Add FHM every year? Can I still have some perch? I think my head hurts.
And to complicate things, my engineer went out on maternity leave - she had a baby girl this morning at 2:00AM...
