|| Is your Pond ready for Winter?
Cold weather is upon many of us! Brrrrr!
If your pond is not ready for winter, now is the time!
Our e-book "Winterizing the Garden Pond" gives many helpful
hints and tips. We give it away at
http://www.pondmarket.com
Just use any of the e-book links.
In addition to the many tips in the e-book we use MicrobeLift
Fall/Winter Prep to help rid the pond of decomposing organic stuff
and to help increase oxygen levels. It helps the fish in our ponds
survive. It can be found in the "Seasonal Items" department in our
online store.
We also leave pumps running in ponds that are home to Koi to
insure adequate oxygen levels. Large Koi in particular need
a lot of oxygen and are very sensitive to sudden temperature
changes. Leaving the pump running assures that the water
is circulated properly. We do, however, move it up from the bottom
of the pond.
|| Great Annual Garden Pond Survey!
We have posted a new survery on our site.
Please participate and help us make our site, e-books and
newsletter as useful to you as it can possibly be!
|| Farmer's Almanac & Renovate America
PondMarket has recently teamed up with the national TV show
"Renovate America" to provide a deserving family with a new
home. PondMarket is proud to have provided the materials
for a pond in their Zen Garden. Please watch Fox for a future
episode featuring this landscape.
This humble writer of this newsletter will also be a regular
contributor to the "Farmer's Almanac" new TV show newsletter.
Please visit their website and watch for the January newsletter
for the first of many articles to come!
|| Fun (Pond) Fact
Bullfrog do not bury themselves completely in the mud in the pond
bottom to hibernate. They need more oxygen than the mud can
provide.
Generally they are only partially buried and may even swim around
slowly from time to time!
Enjoy this newsletter? Please let friends and family interested in
Garden Ponds read it, too! Send it along!
