I have 5 other ponds and this one is the only one giving me problems. It sits in a hay field that hasn't been fertilized in about 7 years. My pond is about a year old with no other vegetation besides the filamented algae. The CC keep the water very turbid, but the stuff just keeps growing at depths up to 3 feet. Visability is only about 8".
I was out of town for a week, came home and found my pond overran with it. Before that there was very little of it. With so much of it, I hate to use chemicals. I have no aeration, water temps are in the mid 80's, and the pond is in full sun in a low spot with very little wind. I'm afraid of oxygen depletion. Raking it out was a waste of time. It grew back as quick as I could rake it out. I am just trying to find a more permanent way to rid myself of it and keep it under control.
