Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization ponds first spring. Fertilizer?

Fertilization update. As per recommendations to fertilize from Todd and Walt @ Overtons fishery, I added 25 lbs of 12-46-0 to this 3.5 acre pond on 3/31/15 and on 4/4 I went from 36" and 28" to 24" of visibility. I read where Bob Lusk's definition of a bloom starts @ 24" and is considered a bloom. Water has a green color with the PH of a 7.5 with the alkalinity of 110 and a water harness of 45. I will continue to monitor and after losing a couple of inches of water, I have started the water well additions back to the pond @ or around 50 gpm. This is for food for thought and for the little ones
