Application of 100 pounds of 8-8-4
fertilizer for every acre of water
will help the owners produce more
fish and less green scum in farm
ponds. Fertilizer keeps down water
weed growth by producing so many
minute algae that they darken the
water enough so the weeds do not
thrive. Algae are good food for
bluegills or other small fish so the
rate of growth of fish is rapid in
fertilized ponds.
