Cecil, I tried putting it on the banks to, I thought, help hold the banks when I planted Bermuda seed. The results were about what usually happens when I experiment.

Agree that if Waldrop said it, he must have a reason but not sure I understand what the reason is or how to keep it in 1 place for the BG's.

TJ, your post about the differences is part of my continuing education about ponds. I always figured the spawning of bg/lmb shouldn't be much different. Because of that, I seldom give advice about Northern ponds.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
