I've often wondered about just how much damage chemicals in ponds can do. In no way am I advocating wholesale or unwise use of chemicals in ponds.

However, when I think about it, one inch of water over one acre is 27,000 gallons at approx 8 3/4 pounds per gallon. If I figure a one acre pond with an average depth of 10 ft, I come up with a big chunk of water. Do your own math. So, what damage can 6 oz of Roundup, with a surfactant thrown in, mixed in 5 gallons of water really do when sprayed on shoreline plants?

Please remember and understand: I'm not giving advice here.

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.
