About that muck, many here have said they can remove 'feet' of muck either through aeration or through beneficial bacteria supplements plus aeration. I was discussing this with my family member the other day and they asked a simple question... Where doe 3 or 4 feet of much go to? I gave it some thought, I didn't know! IT would take maybe a 100 dump truck loads to remove 4 feet of muck from the bottom of a 2 acre pond, yet somehow the muck disappears? Where does it go? Do the bacteria use it like food and turn it into motion type energy and not produce any waste products (outside of their own heat from metabolism?) Do plants pick it up and turn it into other biomass?
Curious minds...
