Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Coontail Control

Sherwood, how many did you put in the pond? Without underwater weeds, your algae problems might be worse than they were last year. Without underwater weeds to feed the TGC, you probably see turbid water from them rooting around in the bottom to find things to eat. With them following the mower, that tells me that they are running out of things to eat. Mowing the clippings into the pond is adding nutrients, which is not a good thing, try to blow them away from the pond if possible.

Typically you want 7-14 TGC per vegetated acre.
