Hurricane Isabelle
Though I did not have any physical damage by the hurricane, and was without
power (except generator) for a week, the high winds took the tall plants, thalia, taro, and cannas and threw them into the pond along with lots of leaves and pine needles. It was about Monday after the hurricane that I pulled the plants back up onto the shelves, except the taro that went to the compost heap. I told Donna that as soon as we got power, I was going to have to get in the pond and vacuum the leaves and other debris. Thursday when the power came back on, I looked at the large pond to see about vacuuming it out, and it was clean except for about 5 little leaves on the sides and a few dead or well worn lily pads. Thank goodness for bottom drains. Between the pumps drawing water the length of the pond, and the koi swimming stirring up the debris on the bottom, all of the leaves on the bottom had been swept to the bottom drain. I still need to vacuum the smaller pond, but it doesn't have any leaves in it, just some fine debris that is clogging the skimmer pad. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html |
