preparing watergardens for fall and winter

 

ahh! the beautiful fall colors

 

Prepare your water garden for fall and winter.

We love the changes that fall brings, the cooler temperatures, beautiful leaves, ripening fruits and vegetables.  But remember, the beautiful leaves come down and into your water garden creating some challenges in caring for your pond.  Attending to skimmers very frequently and pulling out leaves can be very labor intensive.  We though, have pond netting to solve the problem, in 7' x 10', 14' x 20', and 28' x 30' that you can stretch across you pond.  Normal dry bacteria becomes less effective in cooler temperatures.  We have special cold water bacteria that helps with added debris in your pond this time of year.  For you fish, low temperature fish food aids in digestion, getting them ready for winter.  

     And what about winter.  Are you prepared.  Aerators to create bubbles that not only oxygenate, but help keep a small hole in the ice. we carry two sizes.  Also pond deicers and floating heaters.   If you need help setting things up we can assist as we do many fall netting and even fall cleanout if desired.  If you have a fall project in mind, such as a pond or pondless waterfall, we are still are constructing till winter hits and, who knows, maybe a mild winter can let us build later.  Just call for assistance: 660-229- 3777 for Steve.  Or come by the Store at 372 w. College St. Marshall MO.

Note these Store hours: Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 5:00 but closed October 24th and 25th.

Happy Pondering!
