Default OMG I can see the bottom

It is now almost winter and my pond finally decides to clear. You all
remember me complaining all season about my pond looking like the Potomac
River, well it is now clear.What created this awesome change in the water
clarity, chemicals no, UV no, was it weather, no! I added more Water
Hycianth to the pond last week ( I got a great deal local for end of season)
and it cleared in one day. I am now sold on Veggie filters. I am so happy.
I even see some babies I didn't know I had. Joann

Hey! The Potomac Rivers near me (North and South Branches) are usually
clear. Only when there has been torrential rain do they get murky.

water temp has dropped so less algae, water will clear.

actually if your weather is cool/cold now that will do it.

next season leave it alone from the begining,
add more floating plants and it will clear faster.

When it is too cold yet for water hyacinths,
in the spring, try buying watercress at the supermarket.
I tied bunches of it in a basket at the edge of
my filter and felt soooooo ahead of the game
until the mice ate it all.

Check out the water going over the Woodrow Wilson bridge, people are even
afraid to fish there. I have seen the South branch that runs through
Smokehole WVA it is beautiful and clear. My husband loves it there. Joann

Hey, if the water's goin' over the bridge, I'd be a little nervous about
fishing there, too! ;-)
