Wanted to try it out on a small patch of where there is a lot of muck first. Has anyone tried using a trash pump to pump out mud and muck from a pond? Any lessons learned, tips, or design suggestions? Water depth is 2 feet in shallows up to 6ft. Goal is to deepen the water in some areas so weeds won't grow back so readily, and have more access for fishing boats. I have been beating back the weeds with combo of herbicides and tarping method, but wanted to start tackling the muck. I have islands of pickerel weed that trap more debris and sediment and they continue to grow over take the lagoon. Weeds are pickerel weed, pond weed, phragmites. Over the years, it has been filling up with muck & silt, creating shallower water allowing for weeds to take over now that its shallow enough, and the die back each winter is creating more muck which feeds this cycle.
