Roy, I finally put my flowerpot Skippy filter together this weekend. I was a little concerned, as the spots at the side of the pot where the input and back-flush bulkheads go are slightly concave. When I tightened up the gasket on the input bulkhead the rubber ring got twisted severely out of...

Due to several factors (limited space, invasive tree roots nearby, neighbor's dogs cavorting in my existing plastic pond), I've decided to sink an 8' round, 2' deep galvanized steel stock tank about 12" into the ground for my pond. I plan to...

I put in a number of elephant ear plants a few weeks ago and one is doing nothing, and the others just have a small sprout like piece coming out the top. How long do these take to really get going I hoped for some nice shade for the pond from them. Thanks for any help. -- Greg &/or Kellie Meyer

These little guys are a blast. If you put your hand anywhere near the water they scurry over looking for handouts. They really get frustrated with water tests, no food but lots of splashing. They were pretty well tame in a couple of days and taking food from my hand in a week. They can eat an...

I pulled up a few plants from the sand at the beach condo last week and planted it in some sand in a cup. It appeared that some of this same plant was growing at a distance in some of the stream water on the properties. A friend tells me that it is St. John's Wart. I'm not sure myself. ...

Finally got some decent water hyacinth here locally. One of my ponding friends picked me up some yesterday. She stopped by to visit the new turtle and the new turtle came out to be charming. I told my 15-yr-old son to name her and he came up with Lily. So now Lily, a painted turtle, has joined the...
