Fall tips for a healthy pond.

Get the pond ready for fall and winter. It is easy to have a healthy pond through the winter if you follow a few simple guidelines.

    Check the amount of debris in the pond. Remove substantial amounts of mulm and sludge from the pond before winter sets in. This will keep fish healthy . Fish hibernate on the bottom of the pond. And sitting in a bed of sludge that can harbor parasites, contribute to poor water quality, or lower oxygen levels through winter months is not good for them.
  • Remove sludge manually with a pond cleaning. Fish are healthy and strong for fall pond cleaning verse spring cleaning when they have not eaten and been dormant
  • Add Pond-Zyme with Barley to clean and clarify pond water. It contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes to consume sludge and clean ponds  
  • POND ZYME
  • Trim old yellow leaves. Repot overgrown waterlilies and marginals. Plants are healthier in the fall and the water is much warmer to work in. Discard or move tropical plants to freeze free environments.
  • Use pond netting to keep leaves and debris from accumulating in the pond over the winter months. It is also good to keep herons from eating the fish when they are exposed.
