The second option, and one that is much quicker although usually more expensive, is to dredge out the pond bottom. On average with proper aeration running to help these aerobic bugs do their work, one could reasonably expect 3 to 6 inches, and possibly more muck reduction in a six to eight month season. This is nature’s method of cleaning and it works very well, and quite safely, but it does take a fair amount of time. The first process would be to use beneficial bacteria, or microbes and enzymes, to help break this sludge down and in effect, eat it away. This fact makes it pretty obvious why a pond owner would want to clean up the bottom of their water-filled basin. Good for vegetables, bad for algae unless you’re using it for bio-fuels. We all know that you can get any plant to grow better with good nutrients and anything organic that’s breaking down, in soil or water, will improve the vitality of a plant. Things like leaves and other stuff fall or get blown into the water and sink and erosion might also play a part.īeing made up of organic elements, most of this sediment is a lot like compost in a garden. One of the main causes of pond algae blooms is the build up of organic material, muck, and sludge at the bottom. Large ponds and lakes will fill in over time and in time, that grand old pond that once stayed clean and clear, now has algae or other problems.
