My last post I was adding cover and since have added 80lbs of FHM to my 2.25 acre pond. There is no vegetation growing around or in the pond, so the water is pretty muddy in appearance with a hint of green. I don’t know how to tell when I need to fertilize, but thought I had a bloom since it was more green than clay colored. I was told not to add alfalfa meal and followed the recommendation but now I fear my FHM don’t have enough to eat. I never see them, and hope that since it’s been colder than normal, they are just deep and not dead. I see a zillion tadpoles, not a single fish.
Will start adding vegetation this week around pond edge and a few lily pads.
Is there a link explaining when/how to fertilize? Do you feed FHM? Do FHM float or sink when dead?
