Pond Muck Removal

Dredging your pond is not the optimal path to pond maintenance. While dredging will remove muck and sediment that has built up, it only treats the symptoms of a larger problem. Nutrient rich runoff is often the cause of muck buildup. Pond muck removal is essential to maintaining a healthy, functional pond. So if you want to manage pond muck removal, treat it at the source. 

If you want to fertilize around your pond, a good step to keep your muck build up low is to use phosphorus-free fertilizer around it. Phosphorus is a key nutrient that all plants, including aquatic plants and algae will thrive on. Check for runoff from nearby agricultural sources (farmland). Not so obvious sources may be leaking septic systems and damaged drainage tiles. Once you have reduced or eliminated nutrient loading to your pond, you can administer a natural pond cleaner.
