[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2368"] We've been using Roundup on our ponds to remove spatterdock for several years. It was recommended by the fish biologist for the state fish & game dept. It won't work on algae, very little will. There are products available form aquacide that work well on that. There is a form of Roundup that is made expressly for use on ponds. It's supposedly more effective but is a whole lot more expensive also. dun > Dirt in the water will probably > limit the value of the roundup.
