densely growing plants on teh bottom can accumulate a lot of mulm that could
potentially be a problem. best is to check for how dirty it is down there in warm
weather when walking in the pond and plan a cleaning then. Ingrid

It's that time of year when we're taking our hoop houses down, removing the
screening, scopping debris, vacumming the ponds. How clean is clean? When I
built my pond, I wanted a fairly natural look. The fact that my liner is
covered in a green sweater of algae is to me a success. The fact that plants
are growing densely near the bottom disguising the bottom is wonderful. The
fact that I have a few leaves in there, so what? Am I Abby Normal?
