We use a pump to get a sample of the organic flocculent which sets on the lower level of the pond. This layer is between a few inches to several feet thick.
Yes, this might not be the cup of tea for every one. This might some similarity to the oozes found on the ocean floor. Ooze is a scientific term! You can find more about it in an encylopedia or a textbook. The textbook we are using is "Essentials of Oceanography" by Tom Garrison -- 3rd edition -- 2004. If you hunt on bookfinder.com you can sometimes find it for about $8 plus $3 shipping. (I might just have created an increased demand for this used text -- let's see.)
