Part of the formula here is that when the pond drops, shoreline weeds also become unavailable to the GC. From what I can tell there is nothing BUT CLPW in there, although there could be other vegetation in limited amounts that I can't see. How all this affects the forage and the GC is a mystery to me as yet. Just trying to hear what more experienced pond owners think. I have NOT ruled out chemicals at all but probably will put it off this year, and maybe next. Spot treatment interests me though. I would assume some sort of granules that did not disperse throughout the pond? Or am I a fool to even consider letting the CLPW remain? I just hate to do something drastic, I'd rather think of pond management as turning the Titanic. Like someone else here said, beware the swing of the pendulum, slow small swings are better than wild swings.
