Listening to you talk about mud brought me back to the first video of yours I ever watched: the rental excavator recovery. Watching you dig that thing out, I was in awe. Little girls like playing with construction toys too. You took me back near 60 years when I would be doing that in my sandbox. This video brought me back to helping my uncle on his dairy farm. Thanks for bringing back those very fond memories.

Tell them to throw a few bales of barley (it has to be barley) straw in the pond - it'll clear up the algae. No need to break them open. ETA Now it's all redone, the owner needs to fence most of it off, leaving one or two areas of bank for the cattle to access the water. If not, they'll soon have all those edges broken down again...
