Getting rid of fish

But they're wealthy and bought the best of everything. Price was no deterrent. Draining down their pond is not the job it is for us because they're in their 40s and have 2 strong young sons to help. If one really wanted to go the easy route, one could put a bottom drain in the pond so it flows to waste. No filter, lots of plants, few fish. Every couple of years, remove the few fish, open the drain and rinse. Fill up and start again. I don't see my ponds being that hard or that much work, (but ask me in 10 years when I'm in my mid-60's. ;-) Now the demon pond, where I had to haul my equipment to, and do the job when few of the public were out and about... now that was a job. Still... it was only every month. I did it for 7 years, and now I'm done, so doing just my own this summer will be a breeze. ;-) ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
