I have to agree with you that manure fertilization really works. However, a whole bunch of ducks is like living downstream from a feed lot or chicken farm. With my decreased water levels it just ain't pretty. When I look at it, I remember what the RV dump sites call gray water. This last happened a couple of years ago. It took a couple of months for the pond to clear. Then it wound up with about 6 ft. of visibility and I thought I was going to have to fertilize. However, it soon sorted itself out and went back to 2 ft. of visibility. Since I don't live there, there's not a whole lot I can do about it. Well, maybe there is. I'm going up this weekend and may try to encourage them to migrate North. George can use the pretty feathers for fly tying.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
