Clay, poor drainage. Already thought that. Thought it odd all the
backpatters had similar soil.

Never seen algae grow but in standing water.

That may be the first tidbit you've mentioned, that held some truth to
it.

I'm no pro but I had some stuff that I thought was an algael [sp] scum for
awhile till I stopped water at nite and watered less than other areas, and
got some yearly aeration, now its as good as it gets. there is a lot of
clay in that area too.
