Pond Netting Project.

This give you an idea by what I mean when I say "Irregular ". The pond is only 1700 gallons, so not very big. The waterfall present a challenge. For winter I set cement blocks on top of the water fall and run 16 ft. sections of boards fanned out, then cover with a solar cover. I'm embarrassed to admit, it's still set up that way with a net, as we've had so much tree debris this season ......not attractive !

Yea, uncanny isn't it. I can actually say i live in FF twp as that is now our mailing address, no longer Hamilton woohoo. LOL.
I am kind of behind Rentschler park if you know where that is.

I have no problem calling it Hamiltucky, half the city was populated by Kentuckians coming up for work after the depression. My mom's family came here in 1940.

If it's mainly for debris... do you have a pond vac? I got a craigslist one last year.. and I am so happy i did. It makes cleaning the pond so easy... leaves... muck... small rocks... etc... all gone while just standing next to the pond. Not having to net the bottom is the best.

I've thought about a pond vac, but so far haven't spent the $ and just use a pool net. How often do you vacuum ?

Were near the east YMCA by bridgewater falls. Small world!

Tula... I break out the vacuum a few times a year... You could probably go overboard in it's use since the pond muck builds up as fast as you can clear it out. I only have to use the net for floating leaves and stuff (which will be less with the net now)... the vac takes care of the rest. I actually got mine from craigslist from someone who was getting out of the pond life from herons clearing out their pond a few years in a row. But even at full price... i would buy one.

I love the cover but adore your pond! The straight clean lines really appeal to me.

Yep it is, I remember when all that was just farm fields

well I got the call from my wife this morning saying that a heron was walking the bridge over our pond. She said it was kinda pacing back and forth watching the fish that were at the water surfacing thinking they were going to be fed.... but it never tried to strike through the net. She eventually spooked it and it flew up to the neighbors roof.

What brand of pool vac do you have or like best

 

[Nevermore44]

It's a OASE Pondovac 4.... I have never used any other brands for comparison. This one works great so far!
