Hi guys, I didn't send these emails to the group. I don't know how these emails got there. Regards, Darren ... From: ToysGuru <toysguru@...> Subject:...
WANT MORE TIME TIME TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BELOVED AND WONDERFUL KOI I WAS STRUGGLING TO KEEP MY POND UP TO SCRATCH THEN I FOUND THIS AND NOW HAVE PLENTY OF TIME...
Hi, everyone! I hope this hasn't been answered recently. I have not gotten much email from the club, so I assume everyone is just waiting for spring. one...
Hello, Anyone have a suggestion how to grow water lillies in a pond? What soil and pots should I use. I only have goldfish and Shubunkins in the pond right ...
Hi Dave, I wouldn't recommend that as it will stress the fish several different ways (moving, temp changes, chemicals etc.) when they are still dormant and...
Hi Mahalo. They say that the best thing to use for planting Lilies is clay. Luckily, around here, we've got tons of it. I just have to go into the garden...
Thomas, Water lilies are quite easy to grow. I just put mine in a big shallow tub full of ordinary garden soil and submerge it and they thrive. If you have koi...
... Academically, I'd agree with you Edgar, but for those of us who have no choice BUT to use chlorinated (city) water I have to say it hasn't harmed our fish...
Hi Brenda. It's the same thing here with us. We have been very lucky in that we've never had to use conditioners to remove chlorine and/or chloramines from...
Brenda, Thanks to you and everyone for replying. You may recall from my posts last fall that I live in Massachusetts about 40 miles from the ocean. I am in...
Hi Dave, By all means the excess decaying leaves at the pool bottom need to be removed. This should have been done in the fall actually because their decay...
Hi Dave, It sounds like your pond cleaning plan is a pretty decent plan. If you have eight fish of 5-8 inches, you won't need a container as large as the kids...
Edgar, Apparently, you didn't understand the description of my pond. I did clean the leaves out in the fall. I even used a leaf catcher powered by a garden...
Hi Dave, I live in the woods also though my immediate yard is fenced again against deer. I feed them just outside. I also have an enormous load of leaves into...
Dear Dave & Edgar, I guess we all like to make things hard for ourselves because our pond is right in the middle of a heavily forested area too and it's really...
Hi Brenda, Net over ponds won't work for me. Too many leaves weight it into the water and there is no way to feed fish through that. Had heron problems last...
--hello, I envy you having your home and pond in such a nice setting, but i do have a question,.... having your pond in such an environment, how do you...
Karen, Other than herons I've never had a problem. I think that is due to my ponds being too deep and steep sided for predators to go in after the fish. And I...
Dear Karen, I don't have ledges or shelves in my pond; the sides are fairly steep in fact, and this keeps the skunks and raccoons at bay, as well as the ...
Hi Brenda (and Karen), I also use the stake and lines to deter herons but find one has to do it just right. My herons must be smarter than yours because they...
Hi, Everyone, This is an interesting discussion. Edgar, my pond is about 18 x 21 feet or so. I have no problem getting the leaves with my old swimming pool ...
Hi Dave, As to leaves, I didn't have a problem with them sinking the same day except during very heavy rains. Of course a few always sink but the idea is to...
Hi all, i have a leak that i believe is coming from the hose going from the pump in the skimmer box to the waterfall. i believe is froze this winter and...
Karen, This happens to me occasionally. You can use electrical tape stretched tight to patch small leaks on the hose. I think you can also buy patch kits for...
there is no way to seal the leak in the hose as it is burried under the pond, and i know my liner is not leaking due to the fact that i dont lose water unless...
Yes Home depot online carries liner tape, it works great for that. It said only sold online and it is double sided and they have single sided. ... From: Edgar...
Ok I am trying to envision it. Can you disconnect the pump and replace the hose? If you have to, leave the piece of hose you can not reach where it is...? ...
I think Karen has a different issue. The hose that is leaking is located under her pond. That means to get it out she would probably have to drain the pond,...
