I do fertilize with 15-30-15 so I expect the bare root to do well.

How do you fertilize bare root ?

Dump it in the pond. It's green already so what can a little
fertilizer without ammonia hurt?

It'll sure help keep it green!

If it was fertilizer without _nitrate_ (15-30-15 isn't), then it probably
wouldn't hurt. Algae requires only two of the three fertilizer
ingredients, so adding potassium (?? I hope I have that right - I forget
the contents of the FAQ I wrote...) helps other plants use up the nitrate.
