well once again, so close--- but twenty years behind the latest understanding of things?
1) it is not nitrosomonas and nitrobacter but rather nitrosospira and nitrospina that drive our ponds. But then again some level of the former function in our ponds as well.
2) who turns off their ponds in winter any more? Certainly not most of the 'people'.
3) I hope we are not returning to the confusion over sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite again with the use of kitty litter?? WHY do these PhD's have a fixation on kitty litter??
