The big news of the day is… Weather! It’s about to get COLD 🥶 What does that mean for our Gardens, our pets and even our Koi Ponds? Call in today with any questions you may have and we will help!
Here’s a copy/paste from an old article I wrote to help folks with their Ponds – 👇🏻
The #1 Rule if your pond ever Ices over – NEVER, NEVER, NEVER break the ice by banging on it! It can cause your fish great harm – it can even KILL them! To allow the escape/exchange of gasses in a frozen over pond, keep a hole open in the ice. This is IMPORTANT!!! It will keep the gases from building up under the ice and allow for oxygen exchange and keep your fish from suffocating. This will also allow the pump to get water if the surface is frozen. If you have a skimmer, this will be MUCH easier on you! The water movement will help keep the ice from forming. You may need to keep the hole open by adding water from a water hose, bucket or pan of water. (This is why I always say “keep a dry hose” or a 5 gallon bucket for this purpose! If & when you use your water hose be sure to drain it when finished-to keep it from freezing and bursting, or just keep it in your garage). You can also use a floating pond heater or a small pump in a shallow area to “flash up’ and break the water surface. Just do it!
We don’t get too many Ice Days’ here in West Tennessee, but when we do, it’s Never at a convenient moment… In other words, if your not prepared, it can be an emergency
Simple Winter Pond Tool Kit
1 – 5 gallon bucket 🪣 (use to add water as needed. Hot tap water from your faucet will melt a hole in ice if needed)
2 – Clean, dry Water-hose (store in garage or shed so it will be ready to go when needed)
3 – Floating Pond Heater (A floating heater will maintain a opening 🕳 in an ice covered pond. This will allow for oxygen exchange and will keep your Koi alive).
That my Pond Tip today – Be Prepared! Next week, you might thank me…
And don’t worry! Spring is Coming!
Another VERY important thing to take care of is our pets! Make sure they have shelter and warmth. We will be facing Sub Zero wind chills 🥶 We Love our pets 🐕 🐈⬛ 🐓

Hump day = Waterfall Wednesday for me… So I wanted to share a cool “Memory” video that popped up in my feed today. It’s a gorgeous Waterfall with twin Bronze Heron statues, and it volunteered more or less by showing up as a memory today 😇
These cooler days and evenings get me out by the Pond and Waterfall’s even more… I LOVE my Waterfall’s! And I LOVE #waterfallwednesday! ❤️
