SPRINGING INTO ACTION – outdoor fish are getting active 😀
Regular pond checks are really important to make sure that your pond is in good order and that your fish are healthy 🐟
Remove dead or dying foliage frequently. Leave any vegetation you remove next to the pond for a few hours, so any invertebrates hidden amongst it can make their way back to the water. Check leaves for eggs, and return any you find to the pond 🐸
Oxygenator plants are essential for ponds and keep the water clean, but they need to be prevented from taking over. Reduce them when they fill more than one third of the pond 🌱
Pond water evaporates. Top it up once a week or as needed using rainwater from a butt 💦
