Winter fish in the pond
In preparation for the winter pond certain principles are observed. The fish should be supported and developed healthy during the winter. Fish that are not hibernate in the pond should be set up in November at the latest. Otherwise, they need a deep enough pool, where they can spend the winter cold and ice. If the garden is located on a body depth of 100 cm, it can not freeze all the way down. It is important to provide enough oxygen in the pond. You must feed the fish always good in the fall, so they can make body reserves for the winter. You must first remove the accumulated twigs, plant debris and leaves. Wintergreen underwater plants should remain in the pond so they can build the pond water with oxygen in winter. By spring, you still feed the fish.
Winter pond – store all the equipment of the pond
During the winter, the filtration system of the pond is basically the end of the freezing of water, brought to the pond pump, disassembled and stored. For protection against freezing plates thermal protection of the surface of the pond can be used. Anyway, a small area should be free of ice to install or cover the hole with a breathable material one free holder.
Preparation of pond plants for winter
Watering native plants are more robust, with some varieties are evergreen and can overwinter in the pond. Aquatic plants have similar claims, such as fish, but they are not as sensitive.
