Pond clean Up

Hi Greymonters

We had our pond clean up the past weekend, and managed to do quite a bit with our limited means. We have cut dead and drooping branches off trees, they where contributing to the leaf and stick problem in the dam, these leaves and sticks break down and become sediment in the pond which kills the oxygen and then no life can happen in the dam, only frogs and turtles which don't rely on the waters oxygen, we removed a lot of the vegetation which is over growing in the pond and we realized that its a large job and will have to be done over time. Autumn and winter is the best time to do this because of the slow growth so we would like to do more next month if you can help. Photos so far please see this area as a work in progress for the next few months....
