  • Tip #1 Use a long handled Skimmer Net to remove as many leaves as possible to prevent them from decomposing in the Pond. 1
  • Tip #2 Cut back all Aquatic Plants in the Pond including your lilies. You can also do this with Perennials located near the Pond. 1
  • Tip #3 If you do not intend to run your Pond during the winter, you can remove, Inspect and clean Filter Media & Pump. Place your Pump in a bucket of water and store in the basement to prevent the seals from drying out and protect it.
  • Tip #4 Add some Cold Water Bacteria to help keep your Pond looking good during the winter months.
  • Tip #5 Stop feeding your fish when the water temperature gets below 55 F. Their digestive systems have slowed down and it is not healthy for them to eat.
  • Tip # 6 If you have Fish, add an Aerator or small Re-circulating Pump that bubbles at the surface to oxygenate the water and allow gases from decomposing leaves and plants to escape. Theses gases are harmful to the fish.
  • Tip #7 If you live in the north where temps are extreme, add a floating heater to keep the surface from freezing over. They have a built  in thermostat and turn on and off when needed. 1
  • Tip #8 Cover your Pond with Pond Netting during the big leaf drop period. It can be removed after most of the leaves have fallen. You can elect to keep your pond running all winter. Watch for ice damning and add water as needed.
  • Tip #9 Install an Aquascape Pond Skimmer. Your Pump will be protected inside the skimmer. Leaves will be drawn from the Pond surface. They can be easily removed later instead of collecting on the bottom and clogging up your Pump.
  • Tip #10  Here are a few of my favorite Aquascape Inc. products for Fall/Winter Pond Preparation.

How to build a loft

We got this crazy idea to build a loft that extended the back space of the room, with both of their mattresses butted together. So we designed, and built it. ...»

Our children are only children once, so why not go all out?
