Eugene’s A Big Supporter Of PondBugs™

After a visit to the farm, Lloyd recommended a TurboStir™ 7000 PTO Stirrer. Attaching to a tractor, the PTO stirrer provides the portability Eugene needed for use across both storage areas, but also the power to give the larger pond a really good stir in a short amount of time.

The slurry tanker just made sense for Eugene’s situation. With big storage across the road, he wanted the ability to go hard spreading when it was practical, and to spread wherever he needed to. A 14,700L slurry tanker was the ideal size.

All was going well with the PTO stirrer and slurry tanker but given the large amount of effluent being stored in the pond, Eugene couldn’t get rid of the smell and crust formed quickly.

‘I’ve tried a few solutions, ones where you need to dissolve the powder in warm water then let it stand before use. It was a lot of mucking around.’

Then Lloyd suggested he try PondBugs^TM, and Eugene’s been using it consistently for almost 3 years!

‘I’m a big supporter. It’s simple to use and there’s no mucking around. Just easy to tip into the effluent catchment on a regular basis, the pond’s got no smell or crust, and there’s more plant available. The grass has been happier and growing nicely.’
