Stripe Pics

[Doogiegh]

Being I figured out how to attach images to Lawnsite, here's my first stripe pics of the 32" Exmark 12.5 Kawi, gear drive with mulch kit, pro-slide, with the Axle alignment in the "D" Hole, put three 1/2" spacers and one 3/16" below caster and the blade has 3 spacers below spindle, 1 above spindle. Overall cut height now is real close to 3" height.

Another one..

Man, what can I add to this pond to get rid of the green scum on top? Doesn't smell or anything, just looks like someone had way tooo much to drink... <G>

Another pic taken from the top of the hill near the house, but didn't come out as good cause of the sun glare.. Need a overcast day to re-shoot.

Nice stripes, but whats up with that scummy pond water??

Hah~~ i bet thats where swamp thing lives!!!!:D

i'm not too up on my aqautics, but i'd say the pH level is off. check with your local supply store and see if there is an additive that will combat it.

I'll have to have the PH of the pond tested, but I know that it does not smell, clears up and goes away in the colder winter months, only appears when it gets real warm out like June thru September, and the ducks love it.. There's a whole family of them that splash around in there like crazy and they always look like they are bobbing their head in to eat it.. so I dunno.

Here's some new strips pics from today's work.

I finally got it down where it looks like I drove right thru the tree. I love that!

Is there any water movement in the pond? That helps in smaller ponds.

Is that scum? Or is it little seed like things? Here in MO we have alot of what we call "Duckweed". It looks like scum from a distance, but when you get close to it, you can see its really little seeds that float on top of the water. And ducks love it too.

[Doogiegh]

No, it's not scum per say. It is floating little weed things. If you stuck your hand in the water and pulled it out, these green almost-like flower petal kind of things would stick to your arm, kinda chunky-ish... They don't smell at all, so I think they are some kind of floating plants or algae or whatever. And as i mentioned, once it gets colder, by November, the pond water is clearer and looks brown-toned.

The water is currently not circulated. The owner tells me that it was at one time with a pump and such, but that the pump got clogged up so much, it was a pain in the a*$ so they took the pump out...

Any ideas? Beings ducks live in the pond, I don't want to suggest to dump a gallon of chlorine or anything in there.. But something to knock the green down would be nice..
