Fall Tips for Winterizing the Pond
Time
to make some preparation for winterizing
the Pond, even if most of the country
is not yet quite ready for complete
winterization.
September
is a good month to do a few preparatory
things that will help make winterizaton
easier later and will aid in cleaning
the pond to give fish a better chance
at winter survival and even make spring
start-up easier.
The
things to do now include:
*
put netting over the pond to prevent
leaves from falling in
*
add special Autumn formulation (works
in colder water) of beneficial bacteria
to break down pieces of leaves and
twigs that do manage to get in the
pond. This will also help to eliminate
organic waster in the water from this
summers plants.
*
Switch to cool weather fish food to
ensure food gets properly digested
and does not foul the water or hurt
your fish.
*
Add a pond thermometer to monitor
water temperature.
Many
more tips and detailed instructions
for winterization can be found in
our free e-book "Garden Pond
Winterization". Click on any
of the "Free
eBooks" links to get

Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)
Lotus
(Nelumbo sp) is almost entirely edible.
The seeds can be peeled and eaten,
the tubers can be prepared like sweet
potatoes (and are the basis for the
Hawaiian dish "Poi") and
even young leaves can be steamed and
prepared like spinach. Liked this
