Dan Allen is the owner of Oakwood and through this Blog section he’s going to keep a diary of the daily life of a French carp lake owner. If you have any questions for him feel free to post them at the bottom of this post.
Today I have been finishing the last application of siltex to the lake at Oakwood, a messy job but an essential one. Siltex has many benefits for a fishery such as;
- Decreases organic and oxidisable matter which shows up as a reduction in silt levels
- Increases oxygenation and stimulates aerobic micro-organisms
- Improves water clarity by settling solids
- Reduces methane production in silt body
- Counteracts acidity in water and silt
- Provides essential calcium for pond life
- Increases biodiversity in water bodies
.
This may go over most peoples heads but in short it promotes exceptional water quality and reduced silt levels. Here at Oakwood we believe in having a scheduled fishery management programme & we plan carefully for the future to ensure we provide one of the best run and looked after fisheries around.
