What needs to be done right now?...........Fun (Pond) Fact

If you have not done these three things yet...then spring will be much more difficult for you AND your Pond Fish:
- Cover the Pond
- Reduce the "Gunk"
- Switch to the right food
Why?
Because:
- Fall winds will blow tons of stuff into your Pond - from minute particles to large leafs
- Your Pond will have a thick layer of "sludge" in the bottom which is a compost pile to feed next years algae
- Your Pond Fish will be short on nutrition going into the winter starvation and more susceptible to disease and parasites (they do not have a stomach and cannot digest higher protein summer food in cooler water).
Taking care of these simple things now will make spring infinitely easier! Who likes to drain and scrub a Pond? Not us!!
