Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization First time lime

Fred185,

Apologies, I'm a little late to the party here (saying spring time is busy in the fish business would be an understatement) but its sounds like Ewest already answered your question. If you wanted to be safe, you could always go with 4 tons/acre in the pond then lime the surrounding ground in the water shed as well. That way as your runoff flows over the ground it can be neutralized and carry some of that lime with it as well. If your rain is acidic and your soil is acidic you definitely have an uphill battle on your hands and you are going to want to lime everything you can lime.
