A Mess of A Pond - 06/26/20 10:09 PM
Hello there, I am new here, I was recommended this page by a permaculture group.
I am not sure where to start, but I have a mess of a pond, and I am afraid of making it messier. See, I am wanting to get ducks on my 2 acre property and let them have access to this pond. This pond has turtles, frogs, visiting heron, bluegill and some bass in it, but is prone to algae blooms, mosquitoes and over grown weeds all along the edges.
I was hoping that maybe adding ducks would help reduce the weeds and mosquito situation, but we do use this pond for pleasure fishing, so I was wondering if maybe you guys could throw some advice my way. I have no idea what I am doing! The pond is 1.7 acres with no kind of filtration or anything like that.
