In the short term, endothall works well on hydrilla. How much of the pond is currently covered? If its a small percentage / patches on the shoreline i would say you can probably get away with treating all of it at once.
When I apply it with my sprayer can I just spray on top of the weed or do I need to submerge it under water with the spray head?

Plan is to treat half the pond now and then the other half in a week or two and then refill the pond from my well. Any suggestions?

I was at a pond management show in Pennsylvania this weekend one of my customers put on. They had some beautiful ponds they did.

Any suggestion for online resources to get elevations?

Originally posted by RWB View PostSippy, do you do work in the Woodlands / Conroe area? Our neighborhood has 2 large ski lakes and would like someone to look into clearing up the water in one of them.
Originally posted by gtsticker View PostSo I want to get more weeds established in my ponds for water fowl. We through some in from another pond but it did not seem to take. Do I need to stomp it in the mud. These are submerged type weeds

Originally posted by Bucknaked View PostProperty is 2.5 yo new to me. They built this 3/4 acre pond a long time ago but they didn’t install an overflow so when it has been wet I have lost several thousand small bluegill and bass. I built it up around the perimeter temporarily , attempting to hold me over until we got some dry weather ( now). It is full of bluegill and bass but they quite biting anything for about 9 months and I thought I may have had a kill off but recently they came back to life. The water was like chocolate milk but I tried The Block and it did clear up a little bit but it came to a halt. I’m going to get the water tested but I know it has high acidity as does my land around it ( sandy )!
Does anyone know what these 2 weeds are? I know they are trash and I want them gone but I also would like to know what I can replace it with . The narrow end goes in about 100 yds from where pic was taken . I would love a clear beatiful, healthy pond for my grand babies could go fishing anytime and catch feesh. Any help would be appreciated.
Clear rarely means healthy from a fisheries standpoint. You need good plankton blooms which gives the water a green tint.
