Hi Sand (builders sand i think) has just got washed into our wild life pond that has newts and frogs. There is a bit of 'froth' on the top of the water and we can see some sand at the bottom of the pond. Will it hurt the pond or the wildlife? Thanks D

During a break from digging my pond, and basking in the warm Queensland sunshine it occured to me that I could use the hydraulic pressure of the pond to pump/siphon water into my veggie filter. So i built a model using a 20 liter drum and it's been pumping/siphoning away like a beauty for a week. I...

The frogs in my pond are in fine tune February and March of each year during the breeding season. They don't make any sounds during the rest of the year which I believe is normal for the Common Frog. Over the last couple of weeks I have herd one frog crocking early in the evenings. The sound is a...

Hello out there Can anyone suggest some suitable plants for a marshy area at the side of the pond? preferably something that will trail into the water. Bearing in mind that I live in the north of England by the sea, so it must be frost tollerant and also be able to cope with some salt in the...

Is Blanketweed something different than Stringweed? If yes how do you know the difference? How do you control them? I know about the Koi clay ( Kitty litter) for Stringweed.

I have just put in a beautiful Koi/goldfish pond and I'm sure that I have lost several fish to a raccoon. Would a motion sensor that activates a couple of spotlights scare them off or at least make it too hard to see into the water because of glare or is there a better way. Thank you, Scott

Anybody know anything about these? please. There is an advert., in todays Daily Mail - I wondered if they are any good. Cheers Mack

We seem to have developed soapy water. The waterfall has been running 24/7 since December and we have no fish in the pond yet. There aren't many plants at the moment as a friend said he would give us lots but he is off work sick at the moment, but there are 4 oxygenators under the surface as well...

I have my pond up and running for two months now. Everything is falling into place. The water cleared up very nicely, after I increased my Bio-filter with some lava rock. (Some advice I got from the group) It is now crystal clear and I can see the bottom and my three small Koi and six goldfish ...

Your Japanese beetles are only around for TWO WEEKS??? They must have come here (TN). It's my understanding that they are now mating; the grubs will begin feeding in the yard later in August (time for milky spore), and next year they'll be back. I read that four o'clocks are tasty and lethal to JB,...

Should I be concerned? I have a 2500 gallon pond with water lillies and about a dozen koi (18") and a dozen goldfish. Lately I've noticed the koi are all hanging out under the waterfall. Nothing has changed - they never used to do this. They eat fine, and otherwise no issues. Is it...

Had a stone waterfall put in about 9 months ago and this year has been an absolute nightmare for blanketweed. Always had it but never this bad. Waterfall gets covered in it and no matter how thoroughly I clean waterfall and pond it's back within a couple of weeks. I have used chemicals to treat...
