As soon as ice was off my pond this winter it was covered in algae .4 acre pond 1/3 of it covered id say. This is my first spring that my pond was fully completed. I’ve been raking some but like everyone else said-it’s a lot of work. Knobbier was your pond any better this spring? I bought some algacide and was getting on here to see how much to use but that doesn’t sound like it will help me much? I’ve been leaving the algae on the shoreline so I’m guessing all my raking hasn’t been very beneficial . I don’t have ariation yet- will that help at all?
