Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Muddy water Liming this week

Thanks Captain and Ewest:

I probably will use some gypum next spring before I fertilize. I am getting a water test this weekend when I go to Overton's to pickup my fish. And I am sure I will need to add lime. I put in about 200 lbs a week ago which is not much for an acre. It really would be cheaper to have them come out and do it for me. I did it before I read your post and had any idea Potts could do it to a pond.

Ewest if I add gypsum I will do it for esthetics. I will probably only use half the recommended rate or less. And I will wait until next spring before I fertilize. There will be enough run through the pond at that point I will have lost any bloom and nutrients I have now anyway.

Thanks for the comments and help.
