Don’t say it’s because of years of accumulating runoff, because relatively brand new ponds in the southern areas are experiencing the same fate. Logic would dictate that’s it’s gotta be because of another factor?
I live on a pond in Michigan in the Summer. They treat it regularly. In addition, we are not allowed to use certain fertilizer or chemicals on our grass. Are there are considerations given to that in the villages?
