Pond rookie – hope I didn’t ruffle any feathers, and if so I apologize to everyone.
My comments were intended to correct mis-information as to statements that grouping East Texas soils into one category is incorrect.
Your pond that is located 15 miles north of Sulphur Springs is classified as “Post Oak Savannah” geographically/ tertiary geologically, being transitional from Blackland Prairie/Cretaceous alkaline soils to the north.
Our ponds are five miles north of you, in the same transitional area, with optimum water quality. I would venture an opinion that we share the same water properties.
As a dyed in the wool, bred and born “deep” East Texan, I agree with ML that “we are very fortunate indeed to be part of the East Texas family of pond managers…
East Texas is as much a state of mind as anything.”
