My question is would there be any benefit to the pond to have these roots growing it the pond? If not I will just cut them out. Gary

I am trying to finish a long postponed water garden and I am wondering if there are risks to laying stone directly on the folds in the liner at the waterfall. I want to avoid cutting the liner in case I need to redesign and widen the waterfall. The stones will rest on a 2x8 cinderblock platform...

Any interesting pond or garden gifts, or pond/garden related, received this year? My mother gave me a wind chime w/tubes ~4 feet long. The tones sound just like church bells. DH is gonna hang them from the peak of the beam that extends out over our deck. :o) My sister, the professional artist,...

I have a young friend who just bought a house with a small pond -- he ignored it at first and then got porged. I give him some rosy reds and he bought a dozen feeder GF. Now he's worried about their winter comfort. We're in southern Arizona so they won't get too cold, but he's still...

Help please! Just noticed my fish are near the surface of the pond (12 foot by 8 x 2 fot deep) - I have the pumprunning 24/7 and have a small waterfall for aeration. The fish are not gasping - seem perfectly OK, but normally I'd expect them to be at the bottom when it's cold (last night it was...

I have a Savio Skimmer and this fall we have lost 3 frogs to being chewed up in the pump after entering the skimmer. They get over the top of the divider from the basket side into the pump side and are pulled in and chopped up. It's a nightmare having to remove them(still alive)and crush them...

Derek moved to the east coast of Canada. I seem to remember that there would be no room for a pond or it was not a good area for a pond. I guess he has the great salt water pond outside his door. ka30p http://www.geocities.com/watergardeninglabradors/home.html

I have a pond 25x25 feet by 2 feet depth. A large stream 40 feet long with a 4 foot height flows into it. How do I figure out what size underwater pump I will need to make the stream flow fast? Are there site which help with this math? -- Steve Shapson

I have a friend who has a large pond. He would like to sink several Christmas trees in the pond for structure. The question came up would the fish nibble the needles and if so are they toxic? Any info would be a great help. Thank You Jim Bunton

Yesterday I heard the dogs barking, so I ignored them. A couple of seconds later, my brother tells me to hurry up and come down to the living room. I get there in time to see a big shadow and flapping wings of a heron/egret. Later my dad saw him/her sitting on the roof of the neighbors house. I...

Hi, Apart from Koi and Goldfish, what other fish can I keep in an outdoor pond that can handle the water temperatures at least 9 months of the year? I live in Sydney, and in summer, the water temperature is typically ~71 degrees. In winter, the water temperature is ~62 degrees. The pond I am...

I see small green frogs around here but have been unable to identify them, either through books or the Herps of TX site. I did get a few good photos and would like to post them to a binaries group and direct interested parties there to maybe help me ID the frogs, but there are SOOOOO many...

Do pond vaccums really work? We have a lot of muck at the bottom of our pond. Last year, we drained the pond and tried to power wash stuff out but it really didn't clean it up. You can see the rocks at the bottom but you also see alot of dirt which also gets the water really merky when trying...

Recently my SO and I found these Koi lanterns in a catalogue that was sent to us. So we ordered four, two for us and two as gifts. Then we had the bright idea of installing small halogen lights in them instead of candles and using them as path lights at night. I built a sample and tried it...
