We have a lot of plants in pots. When scraping the bottom of the pond we
bring up a greenish muddy slime. Someone said they thought this would be
nutritious to mix with the soil in the plant pots. Would this be true?
Would it be likely to be on the acidic side or not?
I once saw a friend ruin a stunning bowling green type lawn by pumping that
stuff all over it. It is a bit like chicken poo, powerful stuff and will
burn plants if not diluted.
I spread the stuff from our pond around the garden and dig it in just like I
would horse manure but I wouldn't use it in pots.
