Default winterize a small pond

wrote:
Hello,
I live in Missouri and I have a small plastic pond tub approx.35 gal.
There are no fish,( well there was but they disappeared late summer we
suspect largebirds). We do have a few plants in containers and a few
floating. How do I winterize the pond to prevent the plastic liner
from cracking? And is it possible to keep the plants alive outside?
Please respond ASAP winter is upon us.

Thank you,
Karen


OK, I missed Missouri ... sorry. Perhaps someone in Missouri can add
something? However, what is the liner made of? Some type of "hard
plastic?", perhaps like a childs' swimming pool?
