I believe there are lots of people who are facing the same situation, i have also faced the same with me, thanks for sharing your experience, i just love fish ponds and want to make my pond more beautiful and long lasting.
Our water lilies have produced far too much leaf for the past two years, despite dividing and removing large amounts of root in the Spring. They are all in baskets. But otherwise everything seems very healthy, the water is clear, the fish are fine and breed every year. Unfortunately you can't really appreciate them as all the water surface is covered with lily leaves! What can we do?
First of all sorry that I write in this topic but I have some technical problem with the use of this forum. When I'm trying to enter in the appropriate topic, I received a 404 error It's about the only topic in which I was able to enter. Do you have the same problems? What's going on?
Reply to Gardner The only way to get rid of duckweed is to skim it off manually. You will never succeed in 100% removal. Just regard this activity as regular pond weeding. It's just the same as weeding the flower beds every month or so.
Hi I have a large pond with fish, wildlife etc which has decking surrounding it. The decking needs treating this year & have got some fence paint. Is it safe to use if I'm careful?
Reply to Dawn To be honest, I'm not sure. I would imagine that if you managed to prevent any drops going into the water, you ought to be OK. The airborne chemical plume ought to drift away. But freshwater animals are very sensitive to pollution of any sort. Be careful, and good luck.
I had a disaster with my pond and having had it relined and replaced the plants that I saved plus a couple of buckets of gloop two months on and I have white tube like creatures very small that move along in a sideways motion I also have very thin threadlike black things any suggestions what they could be folks.
