That Time of Year
It's getting to that time of year when the newbies begin to swim to the
bottom, stop posting and just be cold for the winter. The old timers will undoubtly argue over whether we should use kosher salt in our ponds for hanukah, and we'll break into a political discussion at some point about where Canadian Maple Syrup is really any better then Mrs. Butterworth's. I've got my wetsuit on and beer in hand. I'll be swimming at the surface all winter. For those of you that prefer to lurk for the winter, see you in the Spring. In the mean time, here's a link to the latest items added to IHeartMyPond.com, http://www.iheartmypond.com/newitems.asp, or http://ihmp.net/@/z, and don't forget to check out our directory of winterizing topics, http://www.iheartmypond.com/Maintenance/Winterizing/ or http://ihmp.net/@/cd. Send us any links or ideas you have for the Winterizing directory. We'd be happy to include them! BV. |

Hi Jeff, Well, I can answer all your questions - correctly of course. Do you want the answers, or are you just looking to start a conversation? ;-) Kosher salt is much too expensive for a large size pond. Vermont Maple Syrup is to best - but we've grown very accustomed to Mrs. Butterworth ;-) -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

At any minute we must leap into kingfisher deterrent maneuvers, rush out the slider (hopefully mom opened it first), careen down the stairs, bounce around the bottom of the aspen trees barking our fool heads off! kathy :-) 3000 gallon pond 800 gallon frog bog home of the watergardening labradors zone 7 SE WA state |

Hi Jeff, Well, I can answer all your questions - correctly of course. Yeah, right... Do you want the answers, or are you just looking to start a conversation? ;-) Kosher salt is much too expensive for a large size pond. In this you are correct. In any case, real sea-coast ponders evaporate their own sea salt. Vermont Maple Syrup is to best - but we've grown very accustomed to Mrs. Butterworth ;-) Oh, please. Canadian Maple Syrup is vastly superior to any south-of-the-border variety, and magnitudes beyond poor Mrs. Butterworth. For a real argument you need to discuss the variations between provinces (poor Quebec lost much of it's production to a major ice storm a few years ago, and I'm not sure they have recovered yet). And so it begins...the winter hysteria of PORG's seperated from their ponds. Hysteria? No, I'm fine. Really. -- derek |

Aren't you the indulgent Mum. My girls would love to be allowed to do that sort of thing. Instead they're forced to pine at the windows, while the squirrels make fun of them from the bird feeder. -- derek |
