So last summer I collected some of the surface algae from clearlake to add to more soil, this is what happened to my crop this year.
All growing conditions were identical from my previous year except for the addition of 5 gallons of algae per hole.
My plants this year are averaging 20% more weight, netting 5lbs per plants.
This is what I did last summer I drilled holes in 5 gallon buckets and scooped up the algae from the boat, letting water drain and filling buckets with solid algae.
I then dug out my holes with the old soil and placed the algae into the bottom of the holes and covered with 6" of old soil, let stand through winter.
Then come March I filled holes with new soil and mixed it all up and let stand until planting in May.
I highly recommend getting to the lake now and scooping this shit up before it settles in for winter.
Of course quality is 5 stars.
Holes were 5'x5' and 18" deep..
Soda Bay area best place at this point to fill your buckets.
