Pond in the Shade
Hi,
I want a pond badly but the only spot I have gets about 3-4 hours of sun per day and there is a large maple tree which will cover most of the pond area. I know that falling debris (I'm prepared to net the pond during the appropriate seasons) from trees and the limited aquatic plant selection will be a problem but are there any other problems that may arise with a pond in the shade? Will fish/koi be happy? Algae problems? Any real important plants that are needed which won't live in such conditions? Does anyone have a pond in a shaded area? Is this a pipe dream or a possibility? Thanks Phil ps. I'm in zone 5 Northern NJ. |
