Winter Supplies

What do you do with your pond in winter? It's a question we get all the time. Here's a quick checklist to make sure you're prepared:

• Decide whether you're going to run your pump or not. It really comes down to personal preference -- but decide BEFORE your pond freezes! 
• Stop feeding your fish when the water temperature hits 50 degrees F. Don't feed them again until the water is consistently warm again in the spring.
• Keep your fish safe from great blue heron with a floating alligator decoy.
• Maintain a hole in the ice so your fish can still breathe -- do this either with an aerator or a de-icer.
