    Gotta love companies that understand that simply being GOOD TO YOUR CUSTOMERS is the best advertising there is! Props to you for calling out their good service!

    "I'm on a boat, everybody look at me cause I'm sailing on a boat" Hahaha props for knowing that song. Brings me back to my twenties me and my buddies heading to the beach blasting that song.

      Hahaha YES! This is the comment I was waiting for! I love when people catch on to things I say mostly under my breath. That song is phenomenal! Was definitely the anthem for a couple summers!

    I love how it's so clear by the edge of the pond. Do you treat it every 2 wks?

      Thanks! Early in the spring/summer I had to about every 3, but now that my bio blocks have caught up, I haven't touched it in over a month!

    Love your pond. Have watched from the start. You’re doing a grand job keeping the water clear. I can’t keep my 16 x 10 foot pond clear of the dreaded blanket weed. It would be so great to see your pond full. But how you achieve that? I have no idea. Bamma Bass dug a well I think. Might be worth looking into. Keep up with the fun videos. 😊

      Thank you! It does bring us a lot of joy. Mother nature can sure be difficult some times. I hope you get it under control! I've considered a well. I may have a potential solution in the works, but nothing is baked yet.

    Great video. I used the liquid cutrine plus this spring with a sprayer and it worked about 2-3 feet from the bank, the rest is still there. I guess i need to try the crystals like you have. Also, those snakes get up under those boat benches and then come out when you are out in the water 😂 I had to bail out one time and swim back, it was ugly. Not a fan of snakes 😂

      Haha well I'm glad that didn't happen to me! I am yet to try the liquid version. The granular stuff has been good for me

    Great video and beautiful pond! How much would you say it cost monthly to maintain a one acre pond? We are looking at a property with one! Thank you!

    • @IndyFarmLife
      @IndyFarmLife  Před měsícem +2

      I think I spend $30/$40 a month on the aerator. I made a video on it at one point where I spoke about the electricity consumption. That could help you come up with a cost for your utility rates. The dye runs about $60 and I drop that in every 60 days, so call it a dollar a day. The bio blocks go in every 45 to 60 days. They are about $60 each and I use 4 each time. The depth of your pond would greatly play into these figures. Ours is deep. Probably about 23ft.

    Looks like a smurf pond, is the blue dye to reduce algae?
