Muck Removal

12 Mar 2012

As organic material, such as dying plants, decomposes in a pond or small lake it forms a layer of muck. Part of any pond maintenance plan, the need to address muck removal is important to the pond’s overall health. Muck removal can be the answer to the root cause of muck buildup faced by many pond owners.

One result of excessive muck build up is a rich source of food for filamentous algae and submerged aquatic plants. Rampant algae population or thick patches of coontail will inhibit the use of your pond quickly. Trying to tackle the algae or submerged plants directly will result in time and money.
