Hello
what is the best additive to prevent algae and generally keep the water in a
good condition for my pebble water feature.

Gary

Do you have anything else living in the "feature"? Your best tack if you
don't have anything else in there is to just start marking the calendar for
dates to get in and clean the thing out. There are additives, none of them
does visiting birds any good.

Never forget, the purpose of ponds is to make meadows.

...........or a teenager going through one of those "stages". Mine was not
granted the luxury of sitting in their room when grounded. My little patio
pond, the porch fountain and the bird baths were slicker than a whistle for
quite a few years. Then the lessons finally sunk in and they became
productive responsible adults and had to get "lots and lots of plants and a
few fish" ~smerk~
