Garden Pond in Spring Starting up the Pond

We have updated our Spring Check List. It can now be printed to take out to the pond with you. The Spring Check List will take you through the process step by step to help insure that the pond will be a piece of cake to take care of this summer.
Taking a bit of care in opening the pond this spring will pay big dividends this summer by preventing problems later on!

Control Green Water Pond Algae and String Algae in Garden Ponds

 We have also been working on our ALGAE PAGE! This page gives advice on how to prevent and deal with all sorts of unwanted stuff that can grow in the pond.
Lot's of updated information and help!

What is more relaxing than listening to the sound of a Waterfall? Move your chair closer.....the positive ions produced by the falling water are good for you!
Need to know how to determine the size of the pump to produce the waterfall you would like? Here is how:
Decide how high and how wide your waterfall will be. You will need the waterfall pump to produce 100 gph for each 1 inch of width at the height at which the water spills out. For example: if you have a 10 inch wide waterfall that is 2 feet high, then you will need a waterfall pump that produces 1000 gallons per hour at 2 ft of head height.

How to determine (find) the size of a waterfall pump

 Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)

In the wild and if raised in natural bottom pond, Koi will rummage around the pond bottom for food. When they pick up the food, fine clay particles are attached which provide needed grit to help with digestion as well as beneficial mineral which account for much of the very bright colors of Koi living in natural bottom ponds.
These conditions can be reproduced to some degree by adding some Koi Clay to the Koi Pond. Watch the color of your Koi improve!
