My fish are dying - please help
Yes - unfortunately I found the 'other' group first - but thankfully someone
called Jim sent me an e-mail diverting me here. Some sort of branch sounds a good option - although I guess they could contain sap or something else unsafe ? Don't really want to go the plastic route as it would look so tacky - even though this is my ornamental pond I want it to look as natural as possible Mind you - my greatest concern is for the fish and wildlife, so if necessary that's what I'll do. You might be interested to know that I have another pond down in the valley in my garden (I have an acre of rural garden in Wiltshire UK) - it's a huge wildlife pond in a natural water meadow. It's not lined with anything - it's fed from an underground spring,and I've constructed a small damn, so it overflows along a pebble bed and then into a stream which runs through the garden. It's a magnet for wildlife of course . The only unfortunate thing is that most of the year it's a complete sea of green - 100% DUCKWEED !!!!! Any tips to get rid of that will make me a friend for life. :-)))) "k" wrote in message oups.com... Hi Carole, Glad you found us! Is a much nicer place to ponder pond problems here :-) I was wondering if you could add something plastic to help out the newts and frogs (am a critter ponder). I've also used branches from cherry trees and they worked for me. You can see them in the picture labeled frog hunting in my slide show. k :-) http://tinyurl.com/6bguh ~ new pond keeper info http://tinyurl.com/yp64db ~ slide show of pond |
