I plan to evaluate the GG, but not necessarily Deb's total program. I want to see if GG's will grow as advertised, but in a pond environment that I know can be reliably and safely maintained in my ponds.
My objective is to have a great Kid's pond in addition to other ponds which have far different fishing experiences.
If the GG's will not grow, when stocked in a manner that I know reaches the limits of my little kid's pond's capacity, then I do not need to go to an even higher stocking rate to know that the GG isn't for me. On the other hand, if it does indeed grow out better at stocking rates I am comfortable with, then the GG will be part of a continuing program at my place.
There will be no other BG present, feeding will be done as recommended. and HSB will be stocked in the ratio Deb recommends. The final stocking rate will be what I am comfortable with knowing full well my pond and its environment.
