 not so much in the shade, and I'd have to do different treatments to keep that algae down. Can you do anything along those lines to prevent algae blooms in your pond and things like that? You know, as far as prevention goes, I'm sure that that's the case, and it's not necessarily my area of expertise. I would say, you know, doing your part to try to keep the nutrient levels down would be the best advice I could offer.
