Winter Lake maintenance while we were closed
Whilst we were closed,
we were not sat twiddling our thumbs, far from it!
We have been flat out doing lake maintenance on the Specimen Carp Lake. We have done extensive tree lopping,
and pruning around the whole lake.
The Cat N' Carp Lake hasn't been forgotten and has also had a
tidy up, especially around the waterline on the islands.
All lakes have been rolled and blade aerated
in an attempt to allow better drainage after rainfall.
In an effort to try and avoid the excessive weed growth problems caused by last years long hot sunny Spring and Summer,
the Specimen Carp lake was drained, for several weeks
with the stock removed to a secure large pond. The lake was then refilled and the stock returned so that they could settle back onto natural food again before reopening. This lake has now reopened.
Unfortunately we are no longer able to source effective aquatic weedkillers in Europe that would have controlled the lakes weed.
We spent a lot of time, money, and effort last year
trying to eradicate it without success.
Lake dye, which in theory limits the amount of light reaching
the weed through the water had very little effect.
Numerous other types of weedkillers were tried but without success, so at great expense, we had a digger and dumper running flat out every day till dusk,
removing well over 1000 tons of silt and weed from the lake.
Hopefully this will prove successful in removing the weed together with deepening the lake depths.
