Pond fad over......

Post by ReelMcKo » Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:40:48



The pond fad is over where I live.  Several pond stores closed and the pet
stores have cut way back on their pond supplies.  No flea market dealers are
selling pond plants anymore.  People I know have filled their ponds in or
just let nature take them over. The economy may have contributed to this, I
don't know.  Our ponds are still there but we've let nature take them over.
I pull out excess Canadian pond weed a few times over the season.  My ponds
are full of newts and frogs and small populations of minnows from the bait
store near the lake.

That could well be nationwide.
I will intend to expand more on this later
(but I'm not promising!)

It may well be nationwide.  These fads come and go.

Our pond is thriving.  The industry appears not to be.

Our two ponds are also thriving. The only fish I have right now are minnows
from the bait shop. The herons and other predators ignore them. The ponds
are chuck full of frogs and newts.  I sold the filters and just have a pump
in each pond to keep the water moving.  Only a few of the neglected water
lilies have survived.
