questions, questions, questions...
I have several questions.
1. I have heard mention that I can "google up" past posts. How would I do this? 2. I have tree roots coming thru my liner. The pond doesn't seem to be losing water. Is it safe to wait for fall cleanup to repair this, or should I go ahead and drain and fix? The area in question is on the bottom of the pond, so I would have to completely drain. When I do this, I plan to lay old carpet under the liner for added protection. 3. I am going to look at some koi (supposed to be about 2 lbs. ea.) in a few hours. I have never owned koi and don't know much about them. Any suggestions on what to look for, what questions to ask? Should I quarantine them before adding to my pond? Will they eat my 3-7" goldfish? Will they eat the babies? Any good sites for learning? Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... ShawnAnne High Desert, zone 6 |

easiest way is to go to www.dejanews.com
choose "rec.ponds"(or not,, this will search ALL groups) & type in search for the words you want. "GaneaRowenna" wrote in message ... I have several questions. 1. I have heard mention that I can "google up" past posts. How would I do this? |

It sounds like you have too many things going on at once.
Suggest you decide on one course of action and follow thru until it is completed... i.e. fixing the tree roots problem. Then I would suggest you do some research on Koi and their needs before you decide on taking on this demanding hobby. How big is your pond? How many gallons of water? We have some rules of thumb .. which are just that... Suggest you have 1,000 gallons of water for the 1st Koi and a 100 gallons for subsequent koi... These answers will determine how many koi your pond will support.

to google type in www.google.com click on groups click on rec go to second page and click on rec.ponds then follow the search options such as search only in rec.ponds I agree with Nedra. You don't want a pond with koi in it and then, all of a sudden, the tree root problem goes south and you've got an empty pond with fish out of water. k30a |
