Pond Cleaning Starts



Pond cleaning day has arrived and here is the pond before picture. The plants have been so prolific that they have taken over and you can't see the water. They do provide good cover and food for the wildlife and drink up some of the waste in the water. When you plan to clean the pond, it is helpful to have two Great Danes to assist (can you tell when I'm joking).

Now see how ugly the pond is with the plants removed. The plants filled up the temporary plant area I built.




Finally 3 hours later the pond is drained and we're already pretty tired and getting sore from using muscle that haven't been worked like this in a long time.
