As a note, I added a few pounds of FHM to my brand new pond in the fall of '11. Without feeding I have a bazillion of them now! Since they feed on microscopic life for the most part, your pond is likely already loaded with food for them unless the water is very clean. It doesn't hurt to help them along though.
Luckily I am blessed with a lot of rocks I have been tossing in over the past year or so in heaps for good spawning sites. Lots of flats set on rounds and small piles of rounds. Pallets look darned ugly when the water lowers in the summer, so I yanked them.
