hello all. i'm very excited to say i am now country living and am a new owner of 16 acres in western ohio. i also am a pond owner. my pond is 3/4 of an acre and about 8' deep at the center. i joined the forum to try to research the problems with the pond and get it healthy again...on a budget of course.

problems are...duckweed duckweed duckweed. there are a lot of trees on three sides and a lot of muck build-up. my priorities are an aerator and getting rid of the duckweed. then maybe i can think about getting it stocked. i don't beleive there are many fish in there right now. i do however have lots of painter turtles, snappers, and frogs.

Welcome!
I'm sure the other guys will chime in with other suggestions about duckweed, but I saw this the other day:

Might be an option, I'm not sure how much to buy or rent though

Welcome to PB spyshot.

Have you physically measured the depth yourself so you know that it is an accurate depth number? Depths can make a big difference, and your right at a minimum.
