Everything we do to a lake has an effect Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Actions have consequences. Nature has no exceptions to this rule. If we over fertilize our lawns, and the excess fertility winds up in our lakes, we can expect nature to react accordingly. Because the new fertility provides nutrients for plant life, we will have more abundant and larger plants. When we chemically or mechanically kill this vegetation, the vegetation will decompose. this decomposing plant matter will use oxygen in the decomposition process. It will also provide food and fertility for the lower life forms, which will then reproduce at a higher rate. The consequence of this is that filamentous algae may form in larger quantities, requiring us to treat it! The best solution to the problem, is to use only as much fertilizer as the lawn can absorb, and provide the most appropriate treatment to the pond or lake until it returns to it's natural balance. One seemingly ironic note is, that lakes and ponds with excess vegetation may be low in fertility. Often the best vegetation control will be to add fertility. If there is an appropriate amount of planctonic algae resulting from the addition of the fertilizer, this will color the water a uniform shade of green, lowering the amount of sunlight available to allow photosynthesis, thereby lowering the ability of plants to grow. There are a lot of questions concerning pest control and prevention, two of the best resources are: Bugs And Weeds, an entire site dedicated to pest prevention, and Rational Environmental Solutions , a site with a lot of lawn, garden, and landscape information.
