  1. Free advice is worth what you paid for it! We had a crystal clear lake - pristine perfect in fact!

    Then came the Hydrilla, and so prolific in two seasons it looked like we had carpeted the whole lake (and most of it is at least 20 feet deep) We called Sonar - they sent a representative with a PHD in aquatic plants - he literally wrote a prescription! He gave us a time table and and amounts of chemical application required plus REQUIRED sending in water samples on a specific schedule. Three months later - no weeds! 2 years later still no weeds!

    We did follow up with an additional 300 sterile grass carp just in case.

    PS the carp are positively only effective in controlling new growth. If you have a major weed outbreak they can't over come it.

  2. @OTF explain the bacteria thing - didn’t know there was such a thing - will it eat the sediment?

    We had a very bad hydrilla problem -sonar’ed it to extension but now have a foot of sediment on the bottom. Way too big an area for dredging (22 acres) 20+ ft deep.
