Today I take the plastic off my pond and start setting up the veggie filter.
whew. it is finally getting back to normal temp after a cold week and a
record breaking snow. the pond water has been 55-60 and it is still clear,
no ammonia and just the bucket filter. I have never had it this clear so
early. OTOH, I have never fed daphnia and krill rather than "fish food"
either. This year I AM going to build a greenhouse type superstructure for
winter. There are entirely too many days each spring and fall I could be
sitting outside by my pond if I could just use a little "greenhouse effect".

I'd like to figure out how to put bird netting over my lily pond, so it is
high enough not to affect those walking in. There is a 4ft. chain link
around it, so I'm thinking attach to that then go high with perhaps pvc
painted black. This would hopefully keep out the anti-frog neighbor's nasty
sycamore leaves. ~ jan
