Rad,
No problem with your analogy either...I was actually thinking of steroids when I wrote that and the growth hormones given to cattle. I raise cows and know that, yes you can promote growth with chemicals but at what price? What unknown consequences? There are consequences to actions...some good, some not so good, and some unknown for many years. We need to carefully think through those consequences before acting on our ponds.
p.s. Rad, yes I know a little about fertilizers, having been in ranching for over 30 years, but it was an interesting link nonetheless. Thank you.
