Default Spring cleaning

You need to tell people when you go in hospital so I can mail you a get well
card!
Hopefully it will stay dry enough this weekend for me to be able to do
something in my ponds.
Everytime I have planned to start cleaning it floods that weekend.
I have to go to the nursery and get some hyacinth. The water ettuce hasn't
done good here. They get eaten up by some kind of little bugs and then gets
all mushy.

Should I just try and get all the leaves out or drain some of the water

to?
Wheres Jerri at?


Sorry Priss been back in the hospital. . ..more heart surgery,,,,been

out
less than 2 weeks, and still resting up....thanks for the email, nice to

know
I've been missed.....First take about 25% of your water out....then take

out
all the leaves and other winter junk that fell in, then refil. If you are

going
to refil it all in one day, or if your water has chlorimine in it make

sure to
put the anti chlor in it. If you have string algea in it give it a shot

of
alum ( 1/4 teaspoon per 1000 gallons) As soon as possible get one of

each of
water lettuce and water hyacinth.....you remember how fast they grow so

for
your ponds one or two will be enough Love to you Jerri
