essup, I agree the TGC got to go! They have ruined ALL the vegetation in this pond nothing sand bottom, and continue to feast on anything we try to plant. Should I fertilize this pond for the first time ever?
have not found a good solution yet to rid of the carp, but I will.
Rainman, the muddy water just came about the last 2 winters now, just after the city water line broke and poured thousands of gallons of water in our pond, this happened in April 2020.
Summer of 2020 the water was fine
Fall 2020 was the first time ever it turned muddy
Spring 2021 is back to clear, so we thought maybe it fixed itself.
Fall 2021 turned back to muddy again
Spring 2022 cleared up again
Fall 2023- current Muddy again?
The shoreline is the same as always 90% riprap rock, and 10% sand/dirt shoreline we are trying to get more vegetation to help aid in erosion but with the tall trees shading the shoreline, nothing wants to grow in the shade, may try a ryegrass mat this spring.
No Koi, Bullhead.
Thank you
