okoroemeka:We will have the ponds netted as well. I believe they didn't delime the pond that's why predators found their way in there. You delime and cover the enter pond with the net. Wait for one week before introducing the juveniles and it would be good. |

okoroemeka: This one is serious o. Maybe he should get some local people to help him hunt it but the problem is there is the possibility that there are more than one there. |

I really have to convince the workers that it's a good idea to take pics of the abandoned ponds that has been taken over by vicious reptiles that lunge out and attack anything moving by the side without provocation,years of conflict with humanity has made the reptiles to adapt to a new levels of predatory ambush attack,we have to stay far away to take this pics, don't try this at home !!!! 1 Like

adisabarber:the problem is even worse than I thought,the fish farm had to use strong wire gauze fence to block off all the earth ponds to prevent reptiles from going into the fish ponds at night from the abandoned ponds, hunting and killing then is out of questions,the size ,speed,style of attack, cunning of the creature makes it impossible to approach without lossing a limb or two, moreover conventional shotguns are useless against the tough skin,the ones they kill got entangled in the wire gauze, making it easy to kill.according to the workers and marks seen by me on the mud easily 10-15 feet size creatures are living in and around the area and the no is estimated at 7-12 animals |

I am totally speechless. I believe if they did regular checks on the ponds they could have noticed the baby crocs on time. Sorting after 30 days, pumping the water out and liming the ponds. They should just turn the crocs infested ponds into a zoo. 1 Like |

okoroemeka: Since they are locked off the fertile ponds, how have they been adapting..... I'm curious,cos to grow 15ft long means they are feeding properly but how |

gottliebglobal:please what are the processes involved in fertilizing ? |
Re: The Making Of Our Earthen Fish Pond ( Pics, Videos) by gottliebglobal(m): 4:11pm On Mar 03, 2019 |
Its adding nitrogen to the water. The cheapest way to do that is adding chicken droppings. Sorry, I couldn't answer until now. Have a happy Sunday |

gottliebglobal: Please what determines the quantity of chicken droppings to use in the pond and what is the process of applying it like? |
Re: The Making Of Our Earthen Fish Pond ( Pics, Videos) by gottliebglobal(m): 2:45pm On Mar 07, 2019 |
smartoskie:The size of the pond determines that. I applied mind to the pond while still in bags. Some people mix it with water, sieve it out and apply directly. |

We netted our first pond today while still fertilizing. The water has already changed color and the pH is optimal. We are now waiting to lime and stock next week. Stay tuned.

Bought some chemical at federal ministry of Agriculture today... At very cheap price compared to what they sell at market, the difference between the price is up to 800# per bottle. What I use to buy 1700 was sold to me for 1043#.it is available across the nation,check your locality. Chemicals available are Herbicide, fungicide, insecticide etc. If you can't get it in your area I can be of help.08060115253 |

I've been following your post since you begin sharing them. I must commend you for the great work you are doing. Kudos to you. From my experience you don't really need to lime a pond after fertilizing it. The work of liming is to reduce the acidity of a pond and normalize it's pH. Lime is also added to pond that do not respond to fertilization. Adding lime at the same time as fertilizer can make the phosphorus and nitrogen in the fertilizer bot available. (anyone should correct me if I'm wrong.) I wish you success as you progress. Cheers! |
