Pond depth
Hello All
My pond is 5 feet in diameter, with a maximum depth of 22 inches. This seemed to be the sort of size indicated on my pond liner instructions. However, I recently read that a pond of depth less than 3 feet is insufficient for fish to survive the Winter when the Pond freezes. The pond was created this year, it contains 6 goldfish. Please could anyone advise? Regards Al. |
