The Art of Pond Management

Authored by: Bob Lusk, Editor Pond Boss Magazine

Historically, the author argued that pond management was 10% science and 90% art in that the science is simple but knowing what to do based on scientific principals is art. Today, with tools such as aeration, microbes, refined fish food, better equipment, and access to information, pond management is now “15% science and 85% art”. Ponds are always changing and there are a lot of variables that influence the outcome of the applied science.
