Default Advice sought from Pond People

As for the bacteria bit ? I think the poster is a little confused -
decaying organic material doesn't 'give off' bacteria - it is the
action of bacteria already in the water that break the organic
matter down into ammonia, this is further broken down by
oxidisation to Nitrates and Nitrites. Certain levels of these are
essential for a healthy pond, ammonia and nitrates provide food for
aquatic plants - very high nitrates however will lead to very poor
water quality and ultimately kill the pond. This is why you should
prevent an over-accumulation of decaying leaves, fish shit and frog
shit on the bottom of your pond - the smell of that black sludge
from the depths of the pond is also equisitely disgusting.


Whoo hoo! Who gives a shit.
Just fill it full on concrete and be done with it.
****s.


Put a ****ing Swing on it. It's better than a bit of water that cats
**** in.


My cats would shit in it TBH.
