Don hasn't even thought about the pond until recently. He seems to think that he's just going to replace all the rocks and turn it on! Guess we'll have to deal with the rest once it's up and running again, but that won't be for another couple of months yet. loz - I really like that picture. _________________________ ...............

It was so pretty that day, and warm.....I need to get my garden bench pulled back out and put it back over by the pond again so I can sit there. I can't WAIT to officially "open" the pond back up for the season. _________________________ for Cindy to get better!!!!!

waterwise waterwise Member Registered: 03/20/08 Posts: 27 Loc: utah , sevier	Hi all! I am a new member, been reading your chat. Sounds good, I have 2 large ponds and 1 small. I am hoping to turn the small one into a lotus pond this year. Cant afford to by the plants so i started some seeds. So far so good. I have 11 starts in the green house. The ponds are uncovered now ant the ice is gone, the water is still very cold. I feed wheat germ in the spring and fall. Great to see so many ponders. great to meet you all.

loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 40463 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	Hi there Webwise. It's nice to have another ponder among us--this is my 4th year with a pond now--I had a very small one for 2 years and last spring we put in my new big pond....What does the wheat germ do for your pond? How do you all combat algae bloom? My pond is really getting green.....but I've never had the string algae that some have. With my pond being in full sun most of the day it makes it so hard as far as algae goes..... I'm so glad all my fish made it thru their first winter outside in the pond....this was the first year I'd left them out in the new pond. They were all too big to bring in anymore. _________________________ for Cindy to get better!!!!!

waterwise waterwise Member Registered: 03/20/08 Posts: 27 Loc: utah , sevier	Hi All,loz, I have found that a UV steralizer is the best green water killer. It kills the tiny little buggers as the water passes through. The wheat germ is a very easaly digested food for fish that are in cold water,a fishes digestive system is very slow when they are waking in the spring. They say that barley works to,never tried it. I am not so webwise. but i do know ponds.LOL thanks!
