Kelly or Bob----regarding DKFarms questions... Assuming he has sufficient water come spring. When should he apply the fertilizer in the spring to control filamentous algae. I am in East Texas. I am told to apply liquid pond fertilizer in early spring. The Big Question is when is " Early" spring in the South??????
Also, since my pond does have the potential to flush a little when it rains , how often do you recommend applying the fertilizer.
I am also using well water to stablize the water level during spawning season due to leaky soil, but plan to let it drop a little during the winter.
I used tilapia to control the filamentous algae this spring since I did not get the "early " spring jump with the fertilizer. I plan to harvest some of the tilapia this fall, before they die off due to the cold. I would prefer not to use tilapia again because the compete so much for the available food pellets that I feed.
Any thoughts----- thanks
