Is your Pond ready for Winter?

Is your Pond ready for Winter?

Cold weather is upon many of us! Brrrrr! If your pond is not ready for winter, now is the time! Our e-book "Winterizing the Garden Pond" gives many helpful hints and tips. We give it away at http://www.pondmarket.com Just use any of the e-book links.

In addition to the many tips in the e-book we use MicrobeLift Fall/Winter Prep to help rid the pond of decomposing organic stuff and to help increase oxygen levels. It helps the fish in our ponds survive. It can be found in the "Seasonal Items" department in our online store.

We also leave pumps running in ponds that are home to Koi to insure adequate oxygen levels. Large Koi in particular need a lot of oxygen and are very sensitive to sudden temperature changes. Leaving the pump running assures that the water is circulated properly. We do, however, move it up from the bottom of the pond.
