Went out to ck the pond and driveway. Was very lucky and have had great rain for the last 6 weeks or so, and the pond looks GREAT! I have been advised by the guys at A&M to add the following.
Both ponds would benefit from a good liming as the pH, calcium, and alkalinity are marginal for the best fish population. I would add agricultural lime (calcium carbonate) at a rate of 900 lbs per acre. The �green pond� would also benefit from 50-75 pounds of calcium sulfate (gypsum) to bring the hardness/alkalinity ratio back into balance. I would also add about 300 pounds of non-iodized stock salt per acre to each pond to increase your chlorides. This water isn�t too bad, just need some small changes to get the best water for fish.
This will be the next step.
Do y'all think this will help with clearing up a little bit of the suspended clay as well?
