Preparation of a pond to wintering.

Preparation of a pond to wintering

I always dreamed of retirement, to do colors! And here my dream came true. Now I have a lot of different colors, shrubs, and there is a reservoir that plays a very important role in their development.

Even a small water mirror can significantly soften the microclimate on hot days, which will benefit on the growth of plants, and a positive psychological impact has a positive psychological impact on a person: soothes and configures on Laric Lad, which is important in our time. By the way, the construction of fountains is practiced in the country areas, I dream of building it with time, but a little later, while you need to bring a pond to mind.
The true charm of the pond acquires only complete with properly selected and skillfully placed aquatic and land plants.

Pure water
This painstaking work is the creation of a wonderful pond - I got three years old, but now they admire my family and our guests. I have a pond of the wrong form in a concrete frame with artificial water supply (water from the city water supply system). The reaches of my pond is a purifier with an ultraviolet lamp: cleans the water from chlorine, inhibits the effect of pathogenic bacteria, protects against the growth of algae (water does not green).
Autumn troubles
Now I want to share the experience of sanitary processing of such water bodies in the fall. After all, the autumnal care is the whimslet - the leaves begins.

Do not let go of pests
In the early autumn I am engaged in transplantation and disadvantaged of the scratched plants: Air of Most Bolotnaya, his daughter, Miscantus. Speakers stem cut, leaving several centimeters over the water. Otherwise, they will become a place for the wintering of pests.
Remove the electrical appliances
We remove the electrical out of the reservoir, I wash, lubricate the mechanisms (if necessary) and removes until spring.

Reduce pressure
For the winter to maintain the integrity of the reservoir itself, since it is a tonny, reducing the pressure of the ice formed putting the board into the water strengthening vertically several polyfoam bars.
Be sure to build a pond: it will bring much benefit both to you and your plants!
