Is it just me or is October moving fast 💨 Only 12 days till Halloween 🎃 And it’s already #waterfallwednesday… Scratch that, it’s #waterfeaturewednesday! 💥
Checkout this beautiful Custom Fountain. It’s a disappearing fountain, meaning the water flows into an underground chamber where it’s stored and recirculates from there.
I just LOVE this Water Feature ❤️ It sounds so good 😊 It really sets the mood in this beautiful backyard patio garden 🪴 With the lighting, it becomes a 24 hour feature… Enjoy it all night! It just keeps on bubbling bubbling bubbling…
Have a Great #waterfeaturewednesday! #waterfallwednesday

Fall is in full season! Each year I try to post some seasonal Pond Tips. So here we go…
I always try to post proactive things you can do to keep your Water Garden clean and your Koi healthy over the Fall & Winter.
Things like –
- Cutting your aquatic plants back
- Installing pond netting
- Keeping your skimmer clear
- Using Cold Water Bacteria
- Feeding Cool Temp Koi Food, etc.
We stock bulk Leaf Netting at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio in Jackson, TN | It will keep debris out of your pond & help protect your fish from predators during the cold, bare months.
Switch to Cold Water Bacteria NOW! –
Our Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria works and keeps on working when the plants and fish aren’t active and really helps the quality of your Pond Water! It is extremely effective at reducing sludge, dead and decaying leaves and plants, built up fish waste & excess nutrients like ammonia, nitrates & phosphates. These things make for poor water quality, reduced water clarity and can have catastrophic effects on your fishes health.
REMEMBER! Keep an 👁 on Your Skimmer!
Or, you end up with this
* Every Pond should have a floating Pond thermometer! Our finned friends are cold blooded & water temperature is very important when it comes to seasonal feeding times. Pick one up at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio.
My final Pond Tip for today,
- Switch to Cool Season Koi Food NOW…
Well, there you have it, a little reminder to help keep the Maintenance to a minimum and to maximize the enjoyment of our wonderful hobby!
🍁 Viva La’ Fall 🍁
Happy Pondering!

Good Morning! Brace yourself… This is the last morning of late Summer… tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox, ie; The 1st day of Fall 🍁
I always try to post proactive things you can do to keep your Water Garden clean and your Koi healthy over the Fall & Winter. Things like – Cutting your aquatic plants back, using pond/Koi netting, watching your skimmer more closely, feeding Cool Temp Koi Food, etc. – There’s another very important thing you can do to really keep your ecosystem active and working well
– Switch to Cool Season Beneficial Bacteria!
Our Cold Water Beneficial Bacteria works and keeps on working when the plants and fish aren’t active and really helps the quality of your Pond Water! It is extremely effective at reducing sludge, dead and decaying leaves and plants, built up fish waste & excess nutrients like ammonia, nitrates & phosphates. These things make for poor water quality, reduced water clarity and can have catastrophic effects on your fishes health.
The next piece of ’Low Hanging Fruit’ im going to serve up is this : Every Pond should have a floating Pond thermometer Our finned friends are cold blooded & water temperature is very important when it comes to seasonal feeding times. Pick one up at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio today.
The last Pond Tip for today is this – “Our Koi have eaten well this year & have put on a good bit of fat to get them through the Cool Season ahead. Now is the time that many of my clients and fellow Koi enthusiasts start asking a very important question…
– When do I stop feeding regular food and start feeding Cool Season Koi Food?
Switching to a Cool Temperature Koi Food is very important for the health of your Koi!
Well thats enough for today I just want you all to be ready with the tools and things you need to easily succeed during the changing of the seasons.
Tomorrow is the start of a new Season! Are You ready for some Fall? 🏈 🍁 🔥
PS: Join us October 1st for a FREE Pond Maintenance Workshop!

I thought this was a timely shot of a nice Waterfall. This pictures was taken right after dark on a nice evening… Our evenings are about to get a bit longer thanks to Daylight Savings! And its Crappie season at the TN River! This beautiful Pondless Waterfall is at my favorite place to fish for Crappie – Birdsong Resort right outside Camden, TN.
Its Waterfall Wednesday! This weekend we set our clocks ⏰ forward to have more daylight in the evening… I’m ready!
Have a Great #Waterfallwednesday! I’ll see you out on the river 🎣

One of the big reasons I went down to Florida recently was to train and earn CEU’s (Continuing Education Units) for one of my Certifications, namely my certification as a Master CAC (Master Certified Aquascape Contractor). We took part in 3 different Water Feature builds, one of which I am sharing here today. This is a custom Fountainscape with color changing lights in a very beautiful garden setting. check out this short video of the finished product
Can you imagine having this in your backyard garden? The sound, the movement, the 24 hour interest! A Water Feature will change your life for the better! Enjoy #waterfeaturewednesday!

Fall is in full swing and its already #waterfallwednesday… Or should i say, Water Feature Wednesday 😊 After all, I love all Water Features!
Heres a really cool Water Feature we just installed. Its called a Disappearing Fountain, because the resivour is underground and the circulating water goes down into the basin making it look like the moving water just disappears…
These are so nice! they are extremely low maintenance and you can get really creative with what you use as your fountain head. This one is a Stacked Slate Sphere and everyone just loves it! what do you think?
Its Water Feature Wednesday! Have a great day!
