Prepare for Spring NOW??..Winter Focal Point...Fun (Pond) Fact

Winterizing a Garden Pond

 Prepare for Spring NOW ??? 

Hate cleaning out the pond in the spring? Want to avoid draining and scrubbing as much as possible? The time to prevent lots or work in the spring is NOW !! 

Decomposing leaves, fish waste, algae...a lot of the stuff making us shudder when looking at the pond in early spring can be prevented by proper winterization! Cover the pond with a pond net to catch leaves from blowing into it...Add a good cool weather beneficial bacteria to digest the decomposing leaves from plants and the fish waste (sludge) at the bottom and balance the pond water to prevent the stringy stuff from growing on the rocks...Your Pond will be much, much easier to start back up in the spring! 

The same goes for your pond fish...feed them a good cool weather diet to keep them healthy and cut down on waste (fish poopoo) that turns into sludge at the pond bottom. Add a de-icer and/or an air pump to ensure adequate oxygen and it will keep your pond AND your fish healthier and avoid trouble in the spring!

 Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)   

 Fish love pond lights in the pond and are often attracted to it! Lights attract bugs which are, of course, gourmet food for Koi and Goldfish!
