I had a foul smell in the pond and the fish weren't looking happy. I
flooded the pond and hooked up the aireator. The pond and smell
cleared, but there sure is a lot of algea on the sides. But last year
by the time the tadpoles were grown, the sides were CLEAN. So i will
leave it eventhough it bugs me. I know there will be plenty of tad
food, anyway. I have maybe 4 weeks before the toads come out to play.

Goodie, goodie, goodie

OK Share holders! Time to remind our BV here that he can't go lazy
on us!
BV, get the rubber shoes, the nets, etc and jump in to the pond and
clean
it
the old fashion way!

I have been a-scoopin' for a few weeks now. A bit here, a bit there.
The
water is nice and clear, but I still need to get plenty of leaves
out. I
think I'll just have to jump in and bear it soon. I also need to get
the
huge container with the lotus tubor out of the pond, so that will
require
entrance as well.
