Default Recreational Pond Testing

It's a good use for one. As soon as your pond is built mother nature tries
to fill her back in. I have two streams that feed my pond. My friend who has
a pond recommended that in the water I put up a limestone "wall" infront of
the flow so that any sediment that makes it into the water will settle out
there. That way in 5-10 years it'll be easier to dredge out because it'll be
close to shore.

Nah limestone for drainage isn't a good calcium source and doesnt raise


It's just a junk filter. I don't expect it to change anything, just keep
organic matter from gradually filling up the pond.
