Ewest, tell me about it. In the heat we've been having I've seen it double every day. I usually have to do this only 3 or 4 times a year and I think I've done it 5 times already. Here's an interesting note. This past spring I began pumping my pond water out into the bog in hopes of filtering nutrients out so that I wouldn't get so much of this stuff. Impossible to tell if it worked at all cause I think the weather plays a large part. But while I do have a bumper crop of DW this year I have almost no FA. Does the heat inhibit FA or could my removal of nutrients helped? I think the only way I'll ever know is to do some nutrient testing periodically for several years. Anyone know of an inexpensive way to do that?


Gotta get back to fishin!
