Stupid thunderstorms

[Michael Shaffer]

ARg, my whole pond filled with mud last night from those thunderstorms
we had. Now I have to drain the whole thing. I hope my Koi are ok.

Mud eh? Can you just let it settle out?

I know your pain. One of my drainage ditches got jacked and I found my 2000
foot DIRT driveway that goes downhill filling in my pond. It made a 10' X
10' swell of sediment in it.

Please don't drain it out. Let it settle out. Koi LOVE
muddy water .... just ask the Japanese who have used
muddy water for centuries to grow out their championship
koi.

I am hurt that you credit the Japanese and not me in the same breath. I am
the god of muddy water.

She was being nice, and not mentioning that you have personally been
raising koi for centuries, old man of the mud.

This is the main reason that we had to totally redesign our pond about 3
years ago. We had a preform that was at backyard level when a storm hit and
my wife had to chase our fish all over the yard which was flooded about 4
inches deep. Now we have a 1000 gall. above ground cement type pond with
boulders around the outside and a waterfall made of boulders. Top of the
pond is about 20 inches above ground. Makes it pretty easy to use the old
toilet tank valve to control water level also. Fred
