http://mysocalledpondlife.blogspot.com/ Pond Edging, as any amateur ponder knows is one of the hardest parts of building a pond IMHO! I had used broken up concrete from a old patio I took out with a sledgehammer to edge most of my pond! And was pretty happy with the results as the plants and...

Was doing some reading on these insects but don't understand as a defensive measure,how one would spray the floating plants and not getting spray into the water and harm fish.All it is, if i'm correct, is soap diluted with water, right? Thanks.........

I currently have a double weatherproof socket (MK masterseal) that has a built in 30mA RCD by my pond which was installed by an electrician while my house was being extended. I am wondering if this was the appropriate installation as my Hozelock pump says that it is intended to be hardwired to the...

Hi, I made a 20gal skippy filter and it is working perfect up till today i noticed some string algae populating in the filter mostly on top attaching itself to the water hyacinth and lettuce. The rest of the pond is doing really well. Should i clean it or just leave it alone. I might reduce the...

I have a Koi that yesterday looked fine. Today he has noticeable mark on his forehead that looks like a small crater. Does anyone know if Koi are susceptible to hole in the head disease? This was the first thing that popped into my head having had Oscars for some time. This is a rather large thing...

Just have a quick question concerning Pondzyme (PondCare). I just bought a container of this and the measuring scoop that they should have provided me with is not there (imagine that). Sooooo I was wondering if anyone has ever used it and if so how much would one scoop actually measure. What...

Hi, I want a pump that will cost the least to run since it will be running fairly constantly. I plan mostly a water garden so I will probably have lots of leaves dropping into water. I will also keep mosquito fish in it. Any filter considerations welcome!!! So any recommendations for 250 gal....

My pond will be approx 3750L do I need a pump that will pump that quantity an hour or one that pumps less. I seem to remember reading that pond water should be circulated every 2-3 hours is this right? Paul

Ok... so people who have their own watergardening stores and greenhouses... Where do they go to school?? I'm assuming probably a regular horticulture schooling but is there an actual school for taking courses on water gardening or aquatic plants?? I've been fascinated for 10+ years and would...

I have been usiing some Aquarium Pharmaceutical test kits (all individual tests not the big multi type tests kit). Some of them come with a Sal****er test color card, and being that I do not fool with Marine fish I always pitched the sal****er cards, as well as the instructions and box, as I have a...
