The warmer weather in most parts of the country has resulted in an earlier than normal start to the spring pond season, in those areas where there is a pond season. Hobbyists are tired of being cooped up inside all the time and want to get out in their yards and work on their ponds and the landscaping.
Patience and proper acclimation are essential. Please read and understand all steps before beginning. The following steps must be followed as a condition of the PetSolutions Fourteen Day Guarantee.
Although we are still in winter's grip, spring will be here sooner than you think. Late January through February is a great time to start planning what pond plants you will add this year and where/how you will plant them. You need to keep in mind having plants that cover the surface, submerged plants, and bog (or marginal) plants. All three of these plant types have specific purpose.
Spring pond care and pond fish are not your typical December banter but at our monthly rotating dinner party this past weekend the conversation turned from to how beautiful the light snowfall was to how we were already sick of winter and pining for spring.
Planning your pond is a simple process of determining the size and filtration needs of your design. Use our Pond Calculator to help you choose the correct items needed for your pond design. After determining the size and volume of your pond, you will need to determine the correct filter for your needs.
