 Want a pond in your back yard but you don't have the time or
money to create the pond of your dreams? With a few items from
your local landscaping nursery, you can create a pond in a
container on your patio in less than an hour.
You will need a large pot (with no holes in the bottom) for your
miniature pond. You can use a large plastic container, but we
picked up a large clay pot for 60% off at our local nursery.

You may have chosen to install a pond in your backyard in order to grow water lilies and other aquatic plants. But even if you put in a pond to raise fish, or simply to enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of a water feature, plants are still an important part of a pond. They help to filter the water, and keep the water oxygenated, which will help fish to thrive. They also help to blend the pond into the landscape, and make it look more natural. A good selection of water lilies and other flowers will add a touch of color to your pond. |

Spring Care For The Koi Pond |

Spring is finally here and it's time to get the koi pond in shape for the new season. There are several steps that need to be taken before starting up the pumps. No matter how well you cleaned the leaves out in the fall, the pond has become a magnet for wind blown leaves and debris throughout the winter months. Now is the time to net out any leaves and trash blown into the koi pond. Don't worry about getting every last leaf. The biological activity will take care of the rest. I do not recommend draining the pond to clean. Not only do you dramatically change the water chemistry when you do this but you also upset the biological filtration of the gravel bottom. Many people have lost precious koi during this process. |

A water feature can make a great addition to your yard, and they aren't too difficult to build, if you do your planning. Certain things need to be kept in mind when you're planning a pond or water garden. |
