Winter garden..

Nice pond . Hope you feel better soon

Best Stay in the warm for a while Dan! Have you made a hole in the ice anywhere? Can't see on on the pic)A small area needs to be kept open to avid build up of toxic gases.
What motivated you to remove the waterfall?

Thanks mossy! And yeah Yorkslass there’s an air stone bubbling away keeping a hole at the far right corner and there’s one just out of shot at this bottom end! :) I’m rebuilding the waterfall as I didn’t like how the water dropped into the pond :)

I didn't know what an airstone was. Yes I see the clear area at the right now.Sounds like a good idea.

It’s like a little Pumice type stone that sits in the water, to a pump that sits outside the pond blowing air through a tube connected to the ‘air stone’ in turn creating bubbles that upon hitting the waters surface draw oxygen into the water :) the surface agitation keeps the water rippling enough to prevent it freezing usually :)

Hi Dan, we have a couple in our pond also. I have to say it definitely helps aeration for the fish doesn’t it! Looks nice too when it’s causing a little bubbling effect...
Dan, I do hope you feel better soon! It’s such a worry you having asthma and all this covid flying around. You must be feeling shocking Bad with a chest infection. Please take care and look after yourself, or hopefully someone is looking after you, bless. Your health comes first! Plenty of time for your projects.
Best wishes x

I agree with Kate , save the non- essential jobs until you're feeling better Dan , it's not worth risking your health for .. take care and keep warm :o)

Thanks guys! I currently man a post office hence why I’m written off for a little! I’m just pottering about for now but it’s far too bitter out today!

I agree with you about that Dan. I'm staying in. Seem to be getting soft now that I'm into my 83rd year! I hope you will be better soon. Enjoy your time off & take it easy.

It’s the best way to be!
