Floating aquatic plants can be a very effective way of adding filtration and surface coverage to a water garden.

Each pond ecosystem possesses its own qualities, conditions, and characteristics, but all ponds have a little algae – some more than others. An over-abundance of algae is the most frequent problem occurring in ponds.

WHY IS FALL MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?

By the time fall rolls around, it is likely that as leaves and other debris fall into your pond, they can clog the pump and contribute to leaks in the stream from buildup.

If you take the garden out of “water garden,” all you’re left with is … well, water. Water is beautiful in and of itself, but the garden part is what makes your pond truly special.

There are a few steps you should take before introducing the fish to their new homes.

Watching your fish glide happily around the pond is one of the great joys of owning a water garden. In fact, keeping fish is the main reason people choose a pond over a waterfall or fountain. Since pond owners think of their koi and goldfish as pets, it’s important to make sure you have a pond that promotes the health of your finned friends.
