one swipe of a net will tell you if the bottom is full of leaves.
if not, then you need some heavy duty filtering material, like polyester batting to
get the floating gunk out.
if you got leaves, then use PP to instantly detox the gases you stir up.

Any thoughts on how to clear the water up enough to see if there are
leaves that need to be cleaned out of the bottom?
Also, if there are
alot of leaves, what dangers are there in disturbing the bottom. I've
worried about that everytime I scoop stuff up and the water in the
pond gets really foul.
