There are lots of OP's on this subject. Been using some for 3 years now and it's working for me. Course I have air also. Will air alone reduce your muck in your pond sure all be it at a slower rate I think but it will still do it. Now with the right bacteria I believe this process is speeded up to some degree.

I now have spots in my pond that I walk and I am on about an inch of muck. When I first bought the place same area had to have at least 10 inches.

Just the other day I was pushing myself out in the boat using an oar and I went to shove it in the ground to push off and all I hit was solid rock! No muck at all. I bet have have lost about 9 inches maybe more since I started this 3 years ago. This is my 4th year and I have already added one bag. I use 2 bags a year of a certain product that's worked for me. I think the key to it is the combination air and introducting new bacteria in the water that gets this process jump started.

Like I said lot of OP's on this, but I will be honest here. I started my bacteria treatments about the same time as I started air in my pond. So I can't sit here and tell you 100 percent that I would have lost as much muck as I have if I was only using air? Cause I wasn't. I do know all the products say to use it with air to get the best result and it has worked in my case.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
