4 acre pond north of Dallas. Other side of the pond is a ranch with about 50-70 head of cattle on it.
At first I couldn't figure out why pond had such bad algae/plants in it but I'm pretty sure it has to be the manure that is deposited on the other side of the pond, the rain washes it into the pond and sure enough the algae bloom explodes.
Other than trying to buy the land from the ranch (which won't happen), is it worth it to go out to the pond every day and shovel the manure away so it doesn't wash into the pond?
Trying to find a solution....
