Steve have you had a water test done? That can help with the clay not settling out. I had to add lime to clear mine up. Might add a little topsoil for the seeds to start in. Clay doesn’t grow much around here unless adding topsoil and hope it doesn’t wash in with the first rain. Mine washed ruts and gouges till got some weeds going.....how old is your pond?
Its new, just finished in July. I literally have all clay in and around my pond. The grass on my dam actually took off pretty good. I took the rake to it to loosen the top inch or so, threw down seed and it's doing great. I probably need to add lime to it eventually, but I'm assuming I wanna wait for it to fill up first? Would liming it now be beneficial?
Forgot to mention that my pH is in the mid-5 range. VERY acidic red clay. How does lime affect the clay settling? I thought it was just the aluminum sulfate that affected that.
