ewest and Meadow,

Thanks for the replies.

I'm have been somewhat confused about this whole liming business, well, actually, I'm confused about a lot of things...buts that�s another story.

What is me confusing to me is that in my 12,500 gallon cement pond (pool), I perform tests � then add chemicals to the water to balance everything.

I (incorrectly) assumed that adding lime to a lake was a similar process. I thought that the lime was actually dissolving/changing the water vs. going to the bottom, then dispersing into the water. I�m sure it is much more complicated than that, however, I now understand lime in soil = good, lime in water = lots of waste.

After applying the lime � does it need to be �disc-ed in� or left on top?

Sounds like I need a soil test in addition to the water test.
