I've reached the point, whether it be good or bad, where I look at the information provided and then do what I think is best, even if it's contrary to what the professional advice states. And I don't mean that to sound disrespectful. It's just that for all the opinions, expert or otherwise, the truth is I have eyes and experience on my particular ponds and they don't. I'm here everyday, watching, observing, seeing how my efforts impact our ponds. And while I know there are established and proven procedures, I do not believe in absolutes.

In my opinion there are very few black and white problem/solution scenarios. Taking something, anything, as gospel or the final word, just doesn't work for me these days. Read, research, ask questions, and experiment.....then decide what works for my unique application. I have noticed that in my case at least, some of what produces great results flies directly in the face of what constitutes conventional or accepted practice.

I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" solution or suggestion.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
