I can't wait to get out and start doing pond maintenance too!

@darkmuse very well said and shown w/the photo's and yes I did the little shelf thing down several inches and put rocks on it in the water and then a layer of rocks above those around the the pond edge. Then I stuck plants in between rocks w/their roots in the water and some also planted back beyon...

Just posting some pictures from last summer of the pond. I'm impatient for spring to finally get here so I can start everything up! https://i.imgur.com/99YVNoH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KHOLeJv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fP9nPRO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AE2seuW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cNniw9t.jpg https://...

i'm not sure what liner I have as it's more like a hard plastic. Probably not a liner thinking about it. A precast pond kind of thing. I know it was easy to put in but the sides that show need to be fixed i guess. Do you have any ideas how to do that? You have preformed pond if it's hard plastic. K...

Any updates as to more new koi? I got the impression you weren't done yet!

@darkmuse we are not supposed to encourage him to get more but it is so hard as they are so beautiful and heck we don't have to put out the good money for them or feed them but we get to enjoy seeing them so WTH let him blow his cash, he's rollin in the dough I'm thinkin. rollmoney.gif He does seem...

@brokensword we've had the tree for over 15 yrs and it seems as tho it had the disease like a year after we planted it. Never does my hubby complain about any bad taste or bad looking fruit. I don't eat peaches. I eat apple's but we don't have a tree. Wish we did! I'm a fan of apples too but also d...

for me, it usually involves raking what little got in over the winter after I cleaned with a net last fall. Not a lot but it's easier when the fish aren't as active. I go slow, as I've seen suggested here. The water is cold so I'm not much into getting into the water. I work from the side. Which rem...

good idea getting the net, yopu won't be sorry.

@ZenQueen That's mainly why we go to Costco, for the goodies. We do buy some stuff but never have our cart full like some I see! Get all our prescriptions there and w/our insurance it turns out they are always free. I try to buy stuff there when it's on sale mostly. So today I did more frog pond wo...

Hello Freddie Peepers, glad you joined. Hope to see many posts from you!

Kings don't get nights off, only Knights like @Dimelius who are good and faithful servants who do what they are told get rewards. Mr Kingy boy breaks all the rules and then just wants to play games all day and night and no more running up and down the stairs all night like our spunky castle cat gro...
