It worked very good. http://internationalenzymeslv.com/products/perma-zyme/



Bill if you could go into a little further details using the Perma-Zyme. What sieve size did you use? Did you lay down non-compacted soils on top of the compressed and treat soil or leave it bare? Is there any plants growing in you pond? Did you fill with water after it cured or let it naturally fill? Thanks Much
