Hello,
I just purchased a house in the thumb area of Michigan.. It is 10yrs old and the pond on the property is just as old. The pond has heavy algae growth with cat tails. So I decided to empty it out however it is taking a long time. My next step is to rent a small excavator and remove the cattails and fix the erosion (outer walls).
Can someone give me pointers as I have no pond experience?
Should remove all the water?
What chemicals should I introduce?
The only fish that I have caught are small blue gill.
I plan on spending some time on this board sucking up some of your knowledge..
