Rangen Food vrs Faithway (local mfg brand)
So if all tags are identical in ingredients and percentages would you
assume its of equal quality? I do, and its dirt cheap.....$5 a pound is not all that bad, but double that and drive two miles wil buy me 50# Right now I have 3/4 ton of it in the barn.......30 bags or somewhere around that number.......I originally bought 1 ton, and got it for 90 cents a bag less for large lot...... As for early spring clean up, my ponds are a bit large to treat with Prazzi, and knock on wood so far gill flukes etc have not been a problem, but I do the PP treatment 2x a year anyhow so my water stays pretty darn decent.... I found a few more remnants of Parrots Feather in the one pond as well as aquatic clover that I need to pull and get rid of....and I think I can then declare the pond is free of any really invasive plants......that is except for my sensitive vine......that thing just criss crosses abck and forth all summer long or as long as its fairly warm out, putting down long trailing submerged roots similar to WH.....and about every 4 inches or so is yellow flower.....the stuff grows almost overnight, but its so easy to control and manage its certainly not a problem......Just cut it off and pull it out like a rope..........I have it up and around the preforms also and poke it out of the water onto the ground, and it grows in and around the monkey grasses and other plants. If it gets out inthe grass I cut ir off when I cut grass, no special means taken to move it, just cut it, and it never hurts it. Once water temp gets to about 60-65 or the first frost its on its way out until weather / water gets nice again.... ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
