Pond Re-Build

Yesterday, albeit 40 degrees, Kevin and I replaced the pond liner. After last year's total overhaul we must have had a hole in the liner as it would lose water very quickly.

We took out the fish - 12 survived the winter - and put them in temporary housing (see tin bucket in forefront). We also found 3 frogs - still sluggish so perhaps not actually awake from their winter nap!

Pumped out the water, removed all the rocks. Put in a new liner and and replaced all the rocks, re-filled and put the fish back in. It is a much easier job with 2 sharing the work! We were able to get the whole project done in a few hours.


Tada!

The pond looks great. Hope you can get some greenery soon to protect the fish.
