I have a pond in the garden and I wondered if all the crap I pull out of my filter when I clean it, can that stuff be used for the plants or the compost heap. I didn't want to use it in case it was bad for the plants.

Most definitely!!!Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

can you be more specific, if I get 2 ltr of pond sludge how much do I water it down, or maybe its a stupid question.

I just chuck the sludge on my border and water it in to stop it crusting over

do you think it will be good for tomatoes and fruit trees and that kind of stuff. I might try and just water it down in the can and use it that way.
