Thanks fishinRod. I’m
Going to agree. I think I’ll continue on for a couple years to see what I can achieve before dinking with the chemicals.

Also how do I know it’s 100% a ground table pond vs a spring fed (from under the pond somewhere)?
The neighbor who has been there forever claims it is water table. Also when I have dug about 7-8 feet from all around the banks of the pond I’d hit solid clay nearly impossible to blast through. I’m waiting to receive a 33’ manual well auger to get through it. But this depth of the clay does appear to be about where the bottom of the pond would be… but I have not hit the water table yet!!?? Also if the water levels gets much lower in summer drought wouldn’t that suggest it is not water table fed?
