Garden & Pond Top Tips

Provide underwater structures. These are important because they provide a refuge for smaller fish. Place pallets, formed into tepee shapes, on the bottom of ponds. Christmas trees are another good structure. You should burn off the needles first, as they can plug pumps and put a large amount of organic material into the pond. You don't want to build more than three or four structures per acre.

It is common place for you to move into a house with an existing pond. Sometimes people leave a blow by blow account of what to do and what to expect and some people leave nothing. This is often problematic if you have no experience of pond keeping and have a lot of fish that are reliant upon your support.
