Eeeeekk....Yuck !!! Got that stringy stuff growing in your Pond in the Winter? Most water treatments are not as effective in the Fall and Winter due to the cooler or downright cold water temperatures. Some notable exceptions (and a super tip from our resident pond expert Aaron), that will clear up that mess are: Barley& Microbe-Lift Fall/Winter Prep. The Barley will prevent the stringy stuff from growing all winter, but it has to be added NOW.

Is Fall Foliage pretty? Oh yes !! But not...in the bottom of your garden pond. There it will decompose and rot, make the water murky and smelly and deprive your fish of much needed oxygen (the decomposition process takes oxygen out of the water). Better to prevent that mess! Cover the pond with a pond net and add beneficial bacteria NOW to help eliminate spring draining and scrubbing (YES! it can be prevented!).

Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)

While Koi spawn only once a year, Goldfish spawn all spring, summer and fall. Goldfish need to be only about 2 inches long to start spawning (have babies).
