Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Water chemistry Concern about water chemistry in my pond

One trick on pelletized lime. Most pelletized lime has a coating. I earlier said it takes longer than ag lime to effect the water (not the dirt). This is because it will , if just dumped in, fall to the bottom quickly and work on the dirt. With ag lime some dissolves on contact with the water so you see an immediate effect. The trick is to wet the pelletized lime in a bucket for a couple mins before you pour it into the pond. You get a quicker short term effect than if you just dump it in.. Long term is the same for ag lime and pelletized (more or less).
