I do the “Social Media” and website chores for my business, Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio – Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Word Press, Website, etc.. AND I also have a cool digital magazine that I “flip’ things of interest into, It’s called Flipboard and it’s pretty cool.
My Flipboard is all about Outdoor Living, Gardening, Food & Fun! YOU can do it too! Start a digital magazine of your own 🙂

I enjoy sharing things of interest with others & Flipboard is one way I do it.
Have a GREAT Tuesday!

We had some great calls today –
- Can we still plant? Yes! In fact, this is the best time of the year to plant shrubs and trees!
- planting salad veggies – lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes, scallions, etc. Greens too like spinach and turnips.
- Can I trim and prune my shrubs and trees? Some light trimming if needed, but leave most until winter dormancy and early Spring.
- one man purchased a building site lot that has sub surface springs and he now can’t build on it! Can he plant fruit trees? Quick answer, probably… Need to do more research, this might have a fix?
– We also got several texts and we really appreciate your text questions too! We don’t always get to answer all of them on the air but we try to get to as many as we can.

Question : Can I add snails to my Pond?
Answer : Yes indeed! BUT, adding the right type of snail is the key to success!
Many snails are invasive and will literally take over a small Water Garden or Koi Pond! DON’T capture wild snails from the river or lake and bring home to your backyard pond! Big Mistake…
Instead buy some Algae Eating Japanese Trapdoor Snails (Viviparis malleatus). They are highly sought by Pond Keepers. They are non-invasive, hardy & will assist you in helping to keep algae under control in your Water Garden! Japanese Trapdoor Snails will really work around your entire Pond consuming decaying organic matter like leaves, excess fish food, and fish waste.
Japanese Trapdoor Snails are hardy and can live up to 5 years! They really help to keep your pond clean. Here’s one we just pulled out of a pond at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
Japanese Trapdoor Snails are “Live-Bearing” and only breed a couple times per year – So they won’t take over your pond! Unlike other snails that can breed out of control.
Japanese trapdoor Snails do a great job helping with Pond Maintenance and they only cost around $5 each.
I try to always have some available for purchase. You need to have around 10 Japanese Trapdoor Snails per 50 sq. ft. of surface area of pond for them to really make a difference. You can even put them in your farm pond to aid in water quality!
Like I always say – work with mother nature for the best results 🙂
Happy Pondering!
