| When was the last time you saw your reflection in your pond? Imagine seeing your colorful koi and goldfish enjoying crystal clear water, you relaxing to the sounds of a cascading waterfall or babbling brook and the sweet smells of colorful water lilies. A beautiful clear healthy pond can make your home a special place for relaxing or entertaining. Like gardens, all ponds and water features need maintenance. Wouldn't your pond be more enjoyable if you were not doing all the hard work? Water imbalances or recurring algae blooms, for example can create real problems with ponds, especially where fish are present. Algae control is often considered the biggest headache in water gardening and maintaining healthy water quality can be a challenge for some pond owners. Planting aquatic plants will help reduce nutrients that algae requires to live, but you have a busy schedule, who will have the time to plant colorful water lilies and aromatic sweet flag? Like a fine wine, ponds get better with age. It takes time for a pond to evolve into a living balanced ecosystem. It takes time for bacteria to establish in numbers where it will actually start helping the water quality. Introducing new beneficial bacteria to your pond on a set schedule will promote colony formation. Good preparations in the fall will ensure successful over-wintering of your pond. Feeding your fish the proper food will prepare them for the cold winter months. Cleaning the UV lamp and inspecting your pump can be a cumbersome affair. Preparing your plants for the colder season ahead is a tedious job. Trimming and removing dead foliage will prevent the decaying material from reducing oxygen levels in the pond during the winter. Debris at the pond’s surface will fall to the bottom collect providing a haven for parasites, removing all accumulated debris will reduce the chances your fish will become ill. Covering your pond with leaf netting is an essential part of fall preparation Will your pond be prepared for winter?
