Question guys.. You can see from my October pics, that the grass and wheat came up last fall. I'm thinking of dumping a bit more seed down. The question is; will I do something awful to the water if I also throw down some fertilizer on the new grass and seed? I was going to put down lime also. Im not talking about a lot of fertilizer, but maybe a light broadcast of some starter type for lawns. I just figure the stronger I can get this new grass, the better it's going to hold up in filtering the incoming water and stabilizing the banks. I suspect when the guys farming the two alfalfa fields spray fertilizer this spring, some of that will end up in the pond also. I'm getting ready to put in fish, I don't want to mess up the water.. Thanks, Jeff
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
