Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Should I clean up around edge?

Raking and clean-up around the edges as noted by esshup is very good for the pond ecosystem. The raking mixes upper oxygenated water into the shoreline areas to help with faster decay of the remaining dead organic materials. Removing any algae as noted removes accumulated nutrients from a small portion of the pond basin. Any type of harvest removes nutrients from the pond system. Nutrients feed all plants and types of algae.
