The National Pond & Landscape Professional Directory is here!
Each year we get thousands of inquiries from our customers
and subscribers asking if we know people and companies who install and maintain Ponds in their area.
Now they will be easy to find.
Just check our directory!
We are starting to add info now!
Pond and Landscape Professionals can let people find them in the place where potential customers search for them!
If you have a top notch Pro who does work for you let them know to get their name out there for other customers to find them!

Pond Fun Fact
A sure sign of Spring: You start hearing Frogs around your Pond!
Tree and Wood Frogs tend to be the first ones ready to mate.
Don't destroy the eggs!
A Garden Pond provides valuable habitat
to substitute for habit that we have destroyed by building homes,
roads and other infrastructure!
The mating season of Frogs only lasts a few weeks
and after that quiet will return!

Seasonal Task Calender
There is now a Seasonal Task Calender available at PondMarket.com!
This calender will help provide pond owners with information on what they should and can be doing for their water gardens all year round.
February is already up and running and
the calender will be updated as the year goes on.
Three different calenders have been designed for pond owners
that live in different climate zones.
Southern Zone - Areas that rarely, if ever, go below freezing
Temperate Zone - The Middle Zones, the Midwest, etc
Northern Zone - Areas with deep and long Winters (northern US, Canada, Alaska, etc)
Check out the new Seasonal Task Calender HERE!

Bottom Sludge and clogging Pond Filters
Every Pond Filter needs to be cleaned and
most of them might clog at some point or another,
but Pond Filter maintenance can be kept to a minimum.
Every Pond develops bottom sludge and many Pond Owners, unfortunately,
feel they have to completely drain and clean out the Pond each year.
These two items are related, both clogging Pond Filters and a lot of bottom sludge indicate lots of decomposing organic waste.
This waste is produced by a myriad of sources, among them fish waste,
leaves, grass and debris that blows into the pond,
uneated fish food, dying algae and many other things.
Reducing these contributing factors to a minimum
will reduce both Pond and Filter maintenance.
How to do that?
Think of Beneficial Bacteria as your best friends!
Assuming the Pond has an adequately sized Pond Filter,
using Beneficial Bacteria religiously and the right kind of Bacteria for the job
and the time of year goes a long way toward keeping these problems in check!
Use Beneficial Bacteria formulated for Spring to digest dead leaves and small twigs (use a net to fish out bigger quantities first),
an all-purpose or Summer formula to deal with the increase in fish waste and
Pond Plant debris and a cold weather formula in Autumn and warmer periods in the Winter to keep cleaning up things as they blow in the Pond.
Make sure the pH of the Pond Water is in acceptable range.
Beneficial Bacteria colonies grow much faster and digest waste much more efficiently if the pH is within the 7.0 - 8.0 range.
