❄️Cold weather feeding❄️

Please don't feed your pond fish while the weather is this cold! The gentleman who brought us this water sample has tragically lost his 20 year old koi carp 🥺because he kept feeding his fish when the water temperature was too cold for bacteria to break down the waste safely, so the Ammonia level has rocketed. He also forgot to monitor his pH level and his pH was 1000 times more acidic than it should be.
If in doubt at this time of year, don't feed pond fish at all. They spend the summer building body fat so they can coast through the winter without eating. Wheatgerm-based winter food is great, but only for 6-10°C water temperature. Any colder than that and bacteria can't reliably break down the waste.

Who is young enough to remember Art Attack? 🤣.

Maybe the heat is getting to us, but it turns out that 34 sacks of pond sticks (weighing a quarter of a ton and worth £1360) can make a fish bigger than the van 🤓

🚌🚌 It turns out pallets of JBL All Season Pond Sticks are like buses! No sign of them all year and now two have come along at once!

We ordered these in November and it's taken until yesterday for them to battle through a computer system drama and Brexit-related border delays!

Please come and buy lots of them ASAP as there are too many to fit in our storeroom and they probably take up as much space as a bus🤣🤣. £39.99 each! Bargain!

The toadlets are on the march! This is the time of year where tiny toads have left their ponds and are hunting round your garden for insects. Tread carefully and dig/mow with caution- they are soooo little and easily squished🥺

Behold! Our latest delivery of marginal plants and waterlilies has landed!

Ever wondered where duckweed comes from...?

You can spend hours painstakingly scooping it off the pond but by the next day, it's back! It often hitch-hikes in on frogs, toads, newts and birds, and it only takes one little piece to start off your duckweed collection again!

A little covering of duckweed is healthy for the ecosystem, but too much can choke other plants and block light and essential gas exchange at the surface.

The best way to control it is to remove as much as you can by hand and then add an anti-duckweed treatment (which usually works by binding phosphate so the duckweed is starved of nutrients and can't spread). Come and talk to us about the best options for your pond.

Remember to make a draining board!

If you are clearing out pond plants, make sure you let them drain on a plank above the water for 24 hours to let any critters squiggle safely back into the water before you put it on the compost heap. 🪱🐌🪳🦐🐸
