Thanks guys. I'm going to go ahead and fertilize with as light a fertilizer as I can find, and put it down lightly. I paid $$ last year for the alum treatment, to get the clay settled, and I don't want any more washing in there.
Looks like by the time I get back up there Sat, we will have had a inch of rain or so. I'm hoping there was some runoff. I'll see how clear the water is.
Be too muddy to spread fertilizer and seed though.. Have to wait.

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.
