Fall Tips for Winterizing the Pond

Fall Tips for Winterizing the Pond

Time to make some preparation for winterizing the Pond, even if most of the country is not yet quite ready for complete winterization.

September is a good month to do a few preparatory things that will help make winterizaton easier later and will aid in cleaning the pond to give fish a better chance at winter survival and even make spring start-up easier.

The things to do now include:

* put netting over the pond to prevent leaves from falling in

* add special Autumn formulation (works in colder water) of beneficial bacteria to break down pieces of leaves and twigs that do manage to get in the pond. This will also help to eliminate organic waster in the water from this summers plants.

* Switch to cool weather fish food to ensure food gets properly digested and does not foul the water or hurt your fish.

* Add a pond thermometer to monitor water temperature.
