Dono, what is the 'secret sauce' to maintain a bloom so consistently? My pond may hold a bloom for 2 weeks in the spring and sometimes a bit in late fall but I never dared toy with fertilizer as I feared fighting more FA or other unwanted weed explosions.
Some fertilizer runoff from my front yard which slopes to the pond I believe starts the first bloom but I try to teach the crew that throws the fertilizer to try to avoid the pond area.
