those in the frozen tundra need to start planning their hoop greenhouses for
next year. it really does get incredibly warm inside with the sun beating
down. Ingrid

fertilizer in the water will definitely make the water go pea soup. that is
how The Pond Lady fertilizers her water lily reproduction ponds. Ingrid

That`s not an option. If I had another one, my wife would want to put
vegetables in it, just like the first one...

Nothing wrong with vegetables. ;-) She can grow them along the outside
edges of the pond. You get a longer pond season, and she gets to grow her
veggies. That jewel colored Swiss chard is beautiful and edible......

uhhhhh... dont see how a greenhouse over a pond with just enough to spare
for a chair and a couple chairs could be converted into a vegetable
greenhouse. Ingrid

I think adding fertilizer may be relative. I once added enough
nitrate of soda to turn my pond black, or at least very dark, and rid
itself of a really unbelievably bad mess of string algae. However I'm
one who looks to smart people like yourself to figure things out and
impart wisdom that I can use and I appreciate your thoughts.
