Red, I'm pretty dumb with respect to clearing the water with Alum, so my fear is that I would clear the pond in April/May time frame and a gully washer would put the mud back into the water column...I'm guessing my efforts would be in vain. My little 1/4 acre pond has an excess of 20 acres of watershed and can get flushed with just a few inches of rain...we got 2 inches last night and that sent water through the pipe when it was down 3 inches yesterday.
Tracy and ant, should I ever clear the water with Alum...my crawdad population MIGHT thin out enough to grow some veggies. Maybe the fish could see them better. A carp would starve to death in my pond right now.
