Boohoo, suspende algae for the first time in 5 years :-(
It had to happen... pond gods not happy with me I guess.
I did everything to please them this year: .. enlarged pond (quadrupled size) .. used watercress for the first time in VF .. increased waterflow .. did not overstock .. cleaned filters with pond water (not with hose, d'uh) .. made sure it was impossible for run-off water to get into the pond .. put all the rocks where they should be Still, it only took 2 days of heavy "torrential" rains to make the water cloudy. Not a drama, I can see about 2 ft down, but still :-( Do I need to sacrifice a firstborn ? ;-) Theo |

Noooooo !!! Not the gazing ball !!! Oh well, so much for me beating "mum nature" eh... Theo now wonders why we call nature "her", but wonders too much anyway ;-) PS: on a more serious note: however much we think our ponds are "big", a bit of rain show us that it's still a puddle... |
