Hello all,
Year two here with my little 6x4 pond, and there is a layer of mud, leaves
and
assorted goo in the bottom of the pond. Can I stick a wet/dry vac hose in
the
bottom of the pond then turn the vac on and suck up the muck? I figured if
I
raised the hose out of the pond before I turned off the moter I wouldn't
have a
back wash problem. Will this work? Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Pat
