Hi guys, I’m a new member and also new to managing Farm ponds. I have two lakes one of them is an old sand and gravel pit lake. That is about 10 acres that is very clear and deep and I also have a smaller pond probably 3/4 of an acre that is shallow fed from a swamp and has a pretty heavy vegetation growth this year. I recently did some water test on the big lake the PH was 7.8 the alkalinity was 20 ppm and the hardness test that I ran was 60 ppm. Looking for any recommendations, should I be fertilizing or liming or both any help or advice is greatly appreciated! I have a new test kit coming in to be able to test the phosphorus, magnesium, and nitrogen levels.
