Jimmy Hoffa

Goodness gracious!
I turned on the news today and saw that they were digging up
someone's pool to look for clues in the 28 year old mystery of the
disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.... and I remembered the answer to what is mulm?

Mulm is stuff that builds up on the bottom of your pond.
It contains:
blown in dust
blown in sand
blown in dirt
fish poop
snail poop
frog poop
tadpole poop
bird poop
uneaten fish food
dead algae
dead zooplankton
dead tree leaves
dead lily flowers
dead plant foliage
shed husks of aquatic insects
a couple of drowned earth worms, a few
leeches, some horse hair worms,
a bunch of flatworms, lots
of redworms
and
the remains of Jimmy Hoffa.

There would probably be more grief if that was a pond they were
tearing up!

A funny thing happened to our pool today, son.....


I have never seen worms in the pond.

Something new to look forward to on your
pond journey!

In one of my pondlets on the deck I filled part way up with dirt and planted
the lotus in it (which has gone onto lotus heaven) and now it has a papyrus and
arrowhead planted in it.

Out of nowhere is seems the pondlet became full of these little bumper car seed
shrimp. They zoom around the edges like crazy, going hither and thither. They
eat decaying stuff so I toss in lettuce and dried bloodworms.

Then the tube worms showed up. They put their heads down in the dirt and wave
their bodies around like hyper seaweed.

A fishless pond is fun to have to see who all shows up. I've got six fishless
pondlets and one fishless frog bog.

Wow, that's cool. I would have liked to have seen the look on my own
face when i found the damselfly nymph...

Makes sense i wouldn't see worms with fish in the pond. DUH! lol

looking in the vegie bog I have all kinds of miniature life, most I
cant see well enough to even guess what it looks like -- but i can see
it moving, some sorta almost slowly some just a whiz by all kinds of
mud huts i love trying to watch it it still amazes me that I can live
so far from water and still have all this aquatic life in my pond

Nah, the whole thing about digging up some guy's backyard to find Hoffa's
briefcase was just a ploy by some PORG who wanted somebody else to do the
heavy work!

Think about it: "I think you should check out the area over there, next to
the maple tree. No, a little to your left. Now, back up a little --
that's perfect."
