No lawn fertilizer, no crop fertilizer, no fertilization from livestock manure.
I suspect your pond might benefit from a little deliberate fertilization!
(Hopefully, you find some good threads in your search, or an actual expert drops in with some solid advice.)
No luck on the thread search. Most posts relate to Southern ponds and nothing similar to my situation that I can see.
I don't know of any pondmeisters around me who purposely add fertilizer. Everybody is paranoid about algae and weeds, and of course the pond management bulletin from the State poo-poos fertilizer and feeding fish for fear of excess nutrients.
I contacted a couple local pond management companies looking for some pond start-up advice. Instead, they wanted me to purchase Aquashade and sign up for a weed control program. The pond is only 6 months old and this is just the first growing season!
