my pond is 5 years old & has built up a fair accumalation of sludge. The plants still seem to be thriving but will it affect the pond life? Pond is approx 8 x 13 ft. Any advice welcome

Weve used it in our wildlife pond with good results and no ill effects.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I use it in conjunction with Blagdon Barley extract which I find keeps algae and the like to a minimum - which was also a recommendation from Dove (along with pond snails too)
