Tip:  Bacteria culture products benefit from being diluted in a watering can of mature pond water, and then being subjected to a bombardment of oxygen via an air stone & pump for a 30 minute period. This assists in bringing the cultures to life more quickly,  This applies to  Sludge Answer, Bacteria Answer and Pond Support Answer. Blanket Answer doesn't necessarily  require the oxygen bombardment.
