My Garden Pond
ICE - Garden Pond Advice
You must not let your pond freeze over for very long, otherwise dangerous gasses could build up to the detriment of your fish.
DO NOT break the ice by hammering on it, the shock could stress and even kill your fish, instead just pour cold or slightly warm water over it. Hot water could kill any fish that just happen to be nearby.
Poor Heron, it must be starving!
A Heron Fishing in my Pond
There had been a very heavy snowfall and I had put additional supports under the nets to take the weight of the snow and ice on them.
The Bridge
The basic pond is now finished but a bridge is needed. We started with a temporary crossing until we had a proper bridge.
Our Garden Pond
The garden has never been planned in its entirety, it has just developed into what it is by adding to and changing what was already there and this will continue.
