[W90]Water Garden Pond Kits
by Oddrun Saeterbo, Odd

Though, scary it may appear, its easy if it is maintained systematically, requiring no more than an hour or so a week and spending a few more bucks. The following are important aspects of pond management.

Aeration of pond bed: Unlike surface water, which easily gets oxygen, bottom layers of water do not get enough oxygen replenishment. It requires aeration of water to help aerobic bacteria thrive and feed on dead organisms settling to bottom, to keep pond water free of sludge. Accessories like air stones, sub surface aerators, display aerators or garden fountains are used for this purpose.

Controlling growth of algae: When supply of nutrients and light surpasses the demand of aquatic plants, the algae proliferates. Large leaved plants like lilies can help reduce light entry to control algae.

Filtration of pond water: Filtration of pond water to remove mud and algae is needed. Filters are either fitted in pump or separately.

Weed Control: Floating plant species, like hyacinth need to be removed occasionally, using aquatic weed remover/ rack. Also, a little of – NOT ALL - the dead plant remains at pond bed need to be removed at the start of spring.

Safety: Keep it safe from toddlers, pets and predators. Use mosquito briquettes to kill mosquito larvae, when necessary.

Prevention is better than cure: A well-designed and professionally installed water garden with or without waterfalls, streams etc., has less to maintain than natural and minimal maintenance.

Avoid large trees near the pond that harm the liner and suck the water. Avoid exuberant and very high fountains as they lead loss of water in spray and wind drift besides hindering aquatic plant growth.

So, a properly designed and systematically maintained pond is owner's pride, an addition to property value of your house, your family's own little paradise, a sponsored ecosystem! It's never a nightmare again.


So the next question is ?what's inside a water garden kit?? Read on so you could take a peek at the water gardener's utility belt.

To enhance the attractiveness and beauty of their water garden, the kit is necessary for every gardener. Not only will human beings appreciate the view, even wildlife such as birds will come flocking your garden.

1. Some kits contain a one fountain pump that comes with a safety cord. This is for water gardeners who prefer to install their own fountains by themselves.

2. They also contain a 4-pack bird bath cleaner that thoroughly flushes out the organic residue and mineral deposits that build up in bird baths. Made from beneficial enzymes and bacteria, the water gardener's bird bath will be healthier than ever. These handy dispensers float in the bowl and continuously threat the water for 30 days. Do not worry, these dispenser will not prevent the birds from drinking and bathing on the bath. In getting this, you even provided your flying pets with clean water.

3. No water gardener wants pesticides in his garden. Destroy those pesky mosquitoes even they are in their larvae states. Mosquitoes are so irritating, plus they can be harmful to human beings and animals. Mosquito bites transmit deadly viruses both to people and pets.

Garden kits contain solutions that you can throw into standing water. In only a matter of minutes, you can observe that it dissolves and releases granules that target mosquito larvae. These pests are destroyed way before they buzz around.

4. A main concern for water gardeners is the water that seeps through the entire ecosystem. That is why they have a water garden filter system in the first place to do the job. But for maintenance, water garden kits also include pond water filters that instantly remove the chlorine and chloramines from hose water. Simply by attaching these to your hose, you can fill up your pond and not worry about chlorine getting into the marine ecosystem and creating problems for your fish.

5. You want to feed your fish the best so we recommend that you buy a nutritionally balanced pellet that is also economically productive for everyday feeding of your goldfish.

The most popular garden kits are those that have everything the water gardener needs to have an attractive water garden. From maintaining the ponds to feeding the fish, the items inside the garden kit must be of top quality.
