The TOP 2 BENEFITS of Adding Lime to Your Pond

Pond fertility is just as important as the fish that are in a pond. Phytoplankton form the base of the pond food chain, so abundant plankton populations are essential to the health of the sunfish populations in a pond.
Some ponds benefit from agricultural runoff -- either from crops or livestock. But others will need supplemental fertilization to improve the nutrients in the water that feed the phytoplankton. Adding lime helps to make ponds more receptive to fertilization and improve the overall water quality in a pond.
Liming a pond also helps to release nutrients that may be bound in bottom of the pond. Join us as we show you how we are adding lime to a relatively new 20 acre pond that requires supplemental fertilization.

Awesome video man. Thanks

Just limed mine as it was dirty brown almost tan and in a couple of days you can start seeing it clearing out. Pretty neat!!

Where does someone buy lime?

[@chriss1728]

@@trevormurray1483 I called a dump truck guy and he knew where to get it. There are pellets in a bag you can buy as well online. I would try to find local due to cost. I need to do mine again. Never got full clear and now we have had tons of rain/runoff.

It would be helpful to see the results in a follow up video

I love the look of a dark colored pond but I am guessing there is no way to have that look but also have it in great shape as far as feeding the bottom of the food chain with plankton

[@TLCPerfectPond]

A dark colored pond is almost always more healthy than a clear pond. Clear ponds have lots of issues with subsurface vegetation because the light penetration is much deeper. So a dark pond is a good thing, but the best thing is to have that green tint which signifies a healthy plankton population.

What's that "Hell or High Water" song? Love the video!

Where does someone buy lime in Utah?

[@zzman5306]

Can you dye your pond to help stop vegetation growth?

[@derrickcribb9930]

Have a question will to many tilopia hurt a bass population ? There is a pond at my work full of tilopia and bass I catch seem to be small not skinny just 10 to 12 inches

[@TLCPerfectPond]

Not sure. We don't find tilapia in any of the ponds we sample. If all the bass are small, it could be an overcrowding issue with just too many bass and not enough resources.

If you lime a pond to much won’t the soil run out of nutrients eventually? Is that when you fertilize the pond?

[@TLCPerfectPond]

We use lime more to stabilize the pH and help release bound nutrients from the bottom. We only lime if the water quality tests show that it is necessary. As is the case with anything, liming too frequently could probably cause issues.

how many fish pond take

[@stupidyoung9031]

Dude should do like to talk damn

[@TLCPerfectPond]

I do wish we could talk more during the actual process, but the pump is loud so we have to do all the explaining before and after.
