UK pond problem
We recently moved into this house and "inherited" what could be a nice
little pond. Trouble is, the previous owner hasn't cleaned it out or done anything to it since about July last year and it's a right mess of dead plants and blanketweed, but also now getting new growth on plants as well. It really needs a good cleanout but the fish all seem healthy and happy and there are also frogs and tadpoles living in there as well - in fact, I think it's because the tadpoles have found some great places to hide that they are still alive and we don't want to disturb them. What's the best option - clean up and disturb the wildlife, hoping they'll settle down again or just leave well alone? Some photo's here (each about 1Mb in size so anyone on dial-up rather than broadband, beware): www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1190.JPG (a frog popped it's head up for this shot) www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1191.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1192.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1193.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1194.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1195.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1196.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1197.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1198.JPG www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/IMGP1199.JPG Thanks, Dave. |
