Lake Management
Understanding your pond's life cycle is half the battle. There are two basic stages.
Stage1: Organic matter from plants, birds, animals and debris begins to accumulate in your pond. The amount of debris your pond receives and the type of soil your pond was constructed from will determine how long your pond will stay in this stage.
Stage2: As your pond begins to age from three to five years excessive algae blooms and pond weeks become noticeable. Emergent plants, such as grasses and cattails begin growing around your ponds edge. This stage continues as more nutrient load increases resulting in frequent and severe weed and algae growth.
Chemicals are only a temporary fix.
You want to build an ecosystem through the following:
1. Aeration
2. Natural bacteria treatments
3. Use of Pond Dye
4. Use of Nutri-Defense products which binds phosphates and other harmful toxins.
