Does anyone tend to a pond?
I'd like to know if the muck on the bottom make good fertilizer?
Anyone at all?

Re: Does anyone tend to a pond?
I've never tried using the muck from my pond as fertilizer. I suppose it would enrich the soil quite nicely if you feel like getting it out

We're draining the pond anyway and planting grass seed, so we thought we'd recycle some muck if it's a good idea.

Re: Does anyone tend to a pond?
At the cottage we have a little pond and when we clean the filter throughout the summer and clean it out at the end of summer we always do it above the garden, I don't know if it makes a positive difference, but the plants don't seem to mind at all

Re: Does anyone tend to a pond?
Yes the muck is great, it is mostly broken down algae, plant matter and decomposed tadpoles & drowned worms.
Muck is great for enriching soil.
