Liming

Liming ponds is an essential component to effective pond management. Most ponds in the southeast require the application of agricultural limestone in order to enhance water quality as well as maximize fish growth and production. Liming rates range from 4-6 tons/acre or more, every few years. Southeastern Pond Management can test water to monitor pond alkalinity to determine when and at what rate liming is necessary. Proper liming technique is quite simple: evenly distribute the material over the entire pond bottom. For existing waters, lime must be applied from a boat. Our specialized liming barges are designed to quickly and effectively apply agricultural limestone into ponds.
