To Lime or not to Lime...that is the question. - 05/17/05 08:23 PM
I am renovating an 8.5 acre lake which is currently drained down to about 2 surface acres. I had my water tested and know that I need to add lime. When talking to local fish breeder - he mentioned that adding lime to the bare dirt (as opposed to filling the lake and dumping lime into the water) was much more effective way to apply lime. IE - he said the goal is to get the lime to cover the bottom, so adding it directly to dirt before I fill the lake is the best way to go. This made a lot of sense to me.
Can anyone comments on the above method of liming vs. adding lime to the water after filling the lake? Is one method more effective than another?
