tdtom30, I just now noticed the numeral at the end of your name. Since most of my far flung extended family use the same number I'm wondering if you aren't one of us? If this doesn't make any sense then you probably aren't ;-) k30a and the watergardening...

I have a larger frog who has made his home in my pond I would say he is about 3". I have a hole by my pond where I have been doing some work and I saw him in there. I thought he might be stuck in the whole, I reached down to get him out and he jumped out of the 24" deep hole into the yard. Then 36"...

The last couple weeks, I've noticed a few goldfish fry in my pond. (and I did a happy dance I might add) :-) I'm quite surprised b/c this is my first attempt at a pond. (See "story" below if interested.) However, I'm wondering if the older goldfish would eat them...... Everything I've found...

After setting out the hav-a-hart trap for many, many, many nights and continuing to catch possum after possum, I finally got "the" racoon who's been ransacking my pond, released in many miles from here in the forest preserve, and went to bed a few nights w/o hooking up the scarecrow and setting the...

http://www.justliners.com/aboutus.htm There is an old saying about good vs bad service. Rutgers did a study and found that when people get good service, they remember it for 18 months and tell 9-12 other people. For bad service memories go back as far as 23 years and they will tell 20 people a...

OK, Take out the filtration factor and what is too much for koi? The reason I ask is that I see so many different claims, and then I go see a koi breeder and they have 20 big ones in 1000 gallons (30+ inches). And 50 or more in 750 gallon setups... Carl -- --

My 2 yr old pond still presents a conundrum. 500 gallons, full sun, z5, readings always within range, ammonia and nitrate always read zero, never any suspended algae, but SA, clear water, under my fish load, don't feed them, lots of plants of all types, 75% coverage, K, iron and magnesium (low in...

I know it's too late now but since the power outage is big news, I wanted to remind some people about my tips on aquariums and ponds during power outages. Here are the links.

I am starting the return stream to my water fall and enjoying the nice summer days. I look over at my Dwarf Plum Tree and see my dog standing on her hind legs picking a ripe plum and eating it. She ate the whole thing in one bite. You could see the plum juice running down her chin.

Here are some pictures I took today of my new pond. Thanks to this group I was able to do this. Please post any comments/suggestions/questions. http://www.spiralex.net/Pond/ Mike

I have a small plastic pond in which a frog laid a zillion eggs. Up until a day or so ago, I had a zillion tadpoles, all of whom happily snacked on the algae. I noticed a week or so ago their back legs had sprouted (or whatever you call it when back legs suddenly appear). Two days ago there was...
