GREETINGS FOLKS, THIS HAS QUICKLY BECOME MY FAVORITE SITE, THE INFO AVAILABLE HERE IS TOP NOTCH!
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND. IN 2005 I PURCHASED 130 ACRES IN N.W. MISSOURI, 50 MILES FROM KANSAS CITY. I HAVE A 1 ACRE POND W/ BG,LMB, AND BULLHEAD, AND ANOTHER SHALLOW [3-5'] POND W/ CRAYFISH THATS ABOUT 1/10TH ACRE AND IS SPRING FED. I HAVE A CONTRACTOR BUILDING ANOTHER 1 ACRE POND [NRCS SHARED] THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN MARCH.
I PLAN ON BUILDING FISH STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW POND BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO BEFORE IT FILLS, DO I LIME THE BASIN? SHOULD I FERTILIZE, ADD ROCKS/BOULDERS? I'M ENTHUSIASTIC BUT A COMPLETE NOVICE AT THIS. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED! SIGNED UP FOR POND BOSS MAG. TODAY, CAN'T WAIT FOR MY FIRST ISSUE!
