Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - water too clear

As I understand it a pond of my size should have around 12 inches of visibility. My pond is way over that and the clarity is aiding in vegetation take over. I intend to use multiple means of vegetation control but for help long term, I'd like to do the opposite of what most want to do here. Is there a natural way to cloud the water? I'm not against using dye but if I can agitate the bottom to get sediment/soil back up, I'm for that too. What is recommended to muddy the waters?

My two 80 lb Labrador retrievers do great for keeping my clay stirred so that I always have cloudy water. They spend hours romping around the shallows trying to catch anything from tadpoles to tilapia. It's amazing when they are at the kennel for a week or two how clear the water gets. Maybe not traditional pond management, but get yourself a dog that loves the water. :-)
