Fish:

Remember the times when you would beg your parents for a dog, it was your only wish. You begged and begged but they always said you were not responsible enough to handle the needs of a dog. But finally, after what seemed like years of begging, they bought you a puppy. And then you realized just how much work that puppy really was: bathing, grooming, midnight bathroom breaks, and that dreaded poop scooper. I can tell you from experience, fish are a lot easier than dogs. Koi make the perfect pets. Koi come in a wide variety of bright, vivid colors, often referred to as the prettiest fish for a water garden. They usually grow to 24" or even more! It is also said that each have their own individual personality, truly making superb pets. When you arrive they will swim to the surface of the water, as if they are saying 'feed me, feed me.' Your koi will become the jewel of your water garden!

These gorgeous flowers are the ones you see speckled around your neighborhood. Their are some types that happen to be wonderful water plants. They add to the color and vividness of your water feature. Irises come in a wide variety of colors, one of the most popular being the Black Gamecock Iris, aka a dark purple bloom.

Ponds:

As it is now summer, or at least it feels like it is, many of us will be hosting summer barbecues. This means that your back yards will be on display, namely your water features will be  on display. Nothing is worse than having green algae in your water garden for everyone to look at. They want to see your gorgeous koi swimming about in crystal clear water. Benefical  bacteria is a great way to clear up the green water. The problem is how do you get rid of that monstrous string algae? The answer: algaecide. It attacks the algae, leaving you with a clean water garden for everyone to enjoy, even your koi.

Spring Clean Outs are Happening now

Ponds:

Spring is finally here! It felt like we were going to be stuck in winter forever, but alas it has come. And now is the time to make your water garden to like the jewel it is. The best way to do this is a spring clean out. In a pond clean out we will remove sticks, leaves, dead plant material, thin out excessive water plants, power wash dirt and debris, rinse your water garden clean, clean filters, refill the pond, take care of any discoloration in the water, and your return fish back to their rightful place. We will also start you off with beneficial bacteria and special cold water bacteria to keep your pond looking crystal clear.  Cold water bacteria works most effectively while the water temperatures are still cool (aka this sold mucky weather we are stuck in rn).

Plants-Most hardy waterlilies are beginning to go dormant. As leaves turn yellow and then brown it's good to remove them,(and your marginals too). Leaving them to stay in the pond and just decay can release excessive nutrients (the ones you've been trying to get rid of) that can cause algae problems. Algae can be controlled with algaecides if need be.

Special - 8oz. Algeacide 20% off

Fish  -  If water temp. still warm, Still okay to Feed. Remember though to cut back on the amount of food.  Also, as the temp drops below 65 degrees its good to switch to Cold Water Fish Food. This better prepares Fish for their hybrination. Once water temperture gets below 55 degrees stop feeding your fish alltogther till spring.

Your Pond Needs this Fall

Filtering - As leaves are starting to fall, remember to check your skimmer filters more frequently. Remove the leaves before they release their tannins and stain the water dark. Wash out your brushes or filter mats too. If they get tore up, they should be replaced.

Keep an eye on your fish as the cooler temperatures will decrease their appetite.  Decrease the amount of food you feed as excess food can decompose causing excess algae and possibly making your fish sick. Consider switching to the cold water fish food which aids the fish in preparing them for winter hibernation.

Ready for Fall?

NBGW

Ponds 

Fall is a wonderful time of year; cooler temperatures,leaves start to turn a multitude of colors-it's dazzling. Remember though, after the leaves awed you with their beautiful colors, they fall to the ground and your pond can act like a magnet for those leaves. Your skimmer can only do so much. And you, of course, emptying your skimmer or scooping out leaves. Left to their own, leaves can begin to decay in your water garden, releasing gases and stains, so much so it can overwhelm your fish and even sicken or kill them. A very good solution is a protection pond netting, stretched over the pond and anchored well on the outside. These nets can keep those pesky leaves out, significantly reducing your pond's maintenance. We like to use black 1/2" PVC pipe, anchored like a green house hoop. Come pick up your fall supplies. Nets come in three sizes; 7x10, 14x20, and 28x30.

Sale: Free 7x10 Net with $25 Purchase

Plants  

Don't forget to trim back and remove any dying foliage to prevent their decaying into the water. The more they decay, the more nutrients release, thus the more algae in your pond. If your pond does suffer from algae control it with Algaecides.
