Thanks Bill Cody for your recommendations. That was the plan for this year to reduce the amount of fertilizer that was used the last two years. Another thing is this past year I built a sediment pond and have been raising fhm's in it. Feeding the minnows will cause a bloom and when it rains some of the sediment water moves to the big pond and I will see a bloom there. So this year I am not so sure I will fertilize but may let the sediment water along with feeding the big pond do my fertilizing. Or may add a reduced amount of fertilizer depending what is going on in March. I was wondering if I had numerous blooms this coming year, could it be controlled through dying the pond, reducing sunlight penetration. a light dye application over adding some alge controlling chemical. Not wanting to kill off a bloom but to control a bloom.
