I live in central Indiana, and we have experienced daytime temperatures between 75 and 90 degrees with dew points of 55 to 65 degrees. My pond has about 120 square feet of surface area. Can someone give me an estimate, in gallons, of the evaporation during a day.

Hi Jay, I've had watercress in two spots. Right now it is at the bottom of my waterfall and has a foothold there. It has grown and 'fallen' into the pond itself. It will grow roots wherever it touches the water. When I orginally 'planted' it I laid the stems down and stuck a rock on top of it. The...

Hi. We've recently moved into a new house, which has a pond in the front garden, complete with installed pump/filter.

Okay people, I've got a challenge for you! I've been noodling around the web looking for information about various pest deterrents and I found an interesting post. So I emailed this nice person and we've been exchanging emails. She found a white EPDM liner at an auction and would like to use it...

I have little bugs on the leaves of my Lotus. Are they going to hurt anything? I have been sinking the leaves and letting the fish eat what comes off.

I primarily work in the Landscape Lighting Industry but have recently found myself working on many decorative ponds. I want to share a unique and low cost way of controlling the lighting and pumps around the pond. I use products from a company called X10 Pro, www.x10pro.com. They have a system...

I have a pond full of koi (12) and one black catfish. Will this black catfish eat the Koi babies? Is this black catfish harmful to the koi?

Hello all. I am new to this group so if this question was already asked I apologize in advance.

That is, make the waterfall and adhere the liner to the base of the...
