Based on the commentary in this forum I decided against plan A. The slope of my yard was just too steep to hold the muck - I felt it would just slide back into the pond like lava and create an even larger mess/buildup on my shoreline. I am starting to communicate more with my neighbors and hopefully a majority of us can align on a plan to dredge it out properly next year. Our new neighbor has an empty lot across the pond and he is willing to put the muck on his lot where he needs to build it up.

For now, enjoy a pic of the diffusers at work that I added this year!

Cheers,

Jason
