Don't bother with any of the pond vacs that attach to your hose --

net or cover the pond in the fall / winter to prevent the leaves from
piling up. I've also heard that a bottom drain works wonders, but don't
have one **yet**.

The problem here is that the leaves are falling as plants are growing
and hopefully toads are mating.
