Clean pond!

well done, did it take long to do.

Well done you...and NO Im not helping you next year!!

Glad Sluggs has given it the seal of approval! Having seen all your hard work I have decided I can live without a pond :)

me to Gee. they get frogs in them, yuck,

About 6 hours in all! Oh come on Tetrarch, give us a hand!!! Pooped now as I started on some weeding after finishing the pond, there's about a weeks worth! Feeling a bit stiff now!

Well done Lulu33 :)))

Can't wait to put the little fishie and 2 newts back in tomorrow!! Also those scary looking dragonfly larvaes!!

may go with that tube idea - looks good

Do you mean the hose paul?!! Its gone now.

the orange things 3 of them

the tubes lulu!!

I think it was the singular that confused me!! They are Pipes!!!!

sorry about that :( - like them anyway

Only joking!!! think I'm all confused by all the hard work I've done today, being early spring, am not used to it!!

lol!!

I know - I seem to spend day after day washing down and so on - nice work though - ponds are devils to clean :)

And now, at last, 3 days later.....X 1 fish, X 2 newts X about a dozen scary dragonfly larvae all back home in the pond. Heron wire back up (as long as dogs don't break it!!) Now wait till the algae bloom, that will annoy me!

do you try any type of algae killer ? Blagdon stuff is good - it will save a lot of hard work

Kills algae, algae goes to bottom of pond, more nitrates, vicious circle!!

how about a pond vac - we may get one - expensive but maybe worth it

Maybe, think it may take out all the goodness though, ponds are such a pain!! I have tried planting to give shade, will see what happens this year! Just been watching a newt chasing a baby dragonfly and my fish is hiding!

haha like it - nice you have all the wildlife :)

looks better lulu,

It does Sanbaz, all I need is a couple more fish. I did have 8 fish but think I will stick to 3-5 so the pond has a better chance of staying cleanish!!

i think for the size that would be better lulu, even though the fishies are small they do need X amount of oxygen and space per fish apparently, i had 6 but 3 died and these seem happy enough so im leaving it at 3 ;o)
