Hay where are all you ponders????????? I know the ponds are sleeping, so lets hear about your plans for next year or your experences from this !!!!!!!!!!!

My plans are to get all the rotting leaves out of the ponds I already have because I did not get them netting until late this year............OH WELL! That is as far as I have gotten right now!

I'M GLAD YOU PUT ON THE PONDERS. JUST PUT IN A NEW WATERFALL FOR MY POND. GOT WITH THE NEIGHBOR. WE PUT A HUGE POND IN HIS YARD.

my pond isn't sleeping, but that's because i live in the south. but i didn't do much with it this year, so it needs me next year. i've figured out (finally) what i want to do with it. now, just waiting for spring/summer to do it!

I have no ponds in meyard, but thar be a crick or two nearby.

I have no pond either just the
big ole lake in front yard,but I want one in the bk yard
by my flower bed, if i can sweet talk him into it lol
love looking at all of u guy's pond's they all
look great

wasn't there a pond building post somewhere?

Betty, I didn't realize that lake was your front yard.

Yuppers thats my front yard lake lol i want a pond in bk, yes there was a ponder pager it was talking about lynn's pond

I would like to put in a little pond too.

me too, but the dogs would be in it soaking their nasty butts

Oh My Suzydaze I didn't think about that,dang Mine won't even
stay out of my flower bed's now,Every summer they dig a big hole
in my Hosta bed.and they will get in lake so,Oh well me and dog's
will be fighting lol

I have a lab that will most surely be in the pond but I don't care. He needs a little refreshing once in a while.

Good to know you are all out there. I have three ponds and love them all. My dogs are little mutts so they stay clear of the water, Yard is fenced to keep out the roaming dogs. Trap is set to catch the Cats and Coons. Ponds are sleeping right now but come march the covers come off so they can start to wake up. CANT WAIT.

Your not by your self I can't wait either,
I wish it would hurry up,Then get to take more pic's
of flowers and the lake

waterwise, do you ponds freeze over in Utah?

They would if I did not cover them and keep a good supply of air going. It has been a balmy winter temps from -15 to 45 above. Can get to -45 on rare ocations.

Looked under the covers today! NO ICE. YES! seen a few leaves coming up from the lilies. Did not see the fish but I am sure they are OK. Got 2 wild cats last week. Have not seen any coons. I removed all the shelves in the ponds and they have not been back. Guess they cannot swim and fish at the same time. I help the herons migrate. "Underground"!

WAHOOOOOOOOO took of the covers today!!!!!! Fishies are doing Good, cept one he has a little tail fungus. spring is creeping up one me. HURRY UP!

WAKE UP ALL YOU WET PET PEOPLE ITS WARMING UP OUT THERE. Ok now that I have you looking, I took the covers of my Ponds Saturday! The fish look great and NO gunk to deal with ""YES"! Come on lets here about your ponds!
A good Vacuum
Cover BEFORE the leaves fall
and a much better spring startup for ALL.

I have to go out and clean the crude out of both ponds this coming week. Then going to go get some new fish to put in the new pond.

Hello
I'm wondering, waterwise, what you used for cover on your pond? I lost all my fish in 2 ponds. Last fall I left the water hose on( just supposed to fill up) I figure there was too much clorine. I scooped up the ones that were still alive and put them in the other pond. Though there are none in either pond now. I cleaned it out and shop vacced-it. So i'm starting from scratch. I had some of those fish several yrs.

I keep my fish inside for the winter here. I have a 75 gallon tank and a 44 that is only for the pond guys.
