GardenBanter.co.uk - Howdy Folks! New to the group and ponds :¬D

Hi Everyone!
Just thought I would introduce myself (the better half is lurking over my
left shoulder kibitzing)
We recently retired (very young for retirees, God Bless the Union!!) and
decided to go on a grand adventure. We sold our home in central California
and moved to west Tennessee. Ahhh... this is heaven!

Our little place is 10.5 acres and came with a delightful "little" pond. Our
pond is 80-90 feet across and we are guessing at 15-20' deep in the middle.

Currently we have three turtles, one appears to be a largish (15" shell)
snapper about ten zillion frogs and their evil spawn and don't know if there
are any fish or not. We had two snakes swim across the pond earlier, well
halfway. They looked like water mocassins, so they are swimmin with the
fishes now, if you get my drift.

So, while trying to figure out what to do about an algae problem we are
having I found your group. Looks like you have a great bunch of people here
and we are looking forward to learning a lot.
