Water Gardening: clearing my pond, 1 by rockminer

Helenchild, Your water looks great! Obviously you have found a system that works. I tried uv, barley, external filters, bacteria and a number of various concotions recommended by the pond shop some of which helped in the short run. The bog solved my problems at one lick. It has created at least one new one, however. The bog plants have grown down into the stream and waterfall causing the water to overflow the liner. The pond was about 8 inches down this morning. I'm just now taking a break from clearing that out. The water primrose grows about 3 feet a day putting roots down from every leaf node! Oh well, my clear water is worth having to pay attention to new events. Thanks so much for your input.

Btw, I enjoy your many posts on many other threads as well. You have a wonderful green thumb!

PS. You can see that the primrose, Ludwigia peploides, has grown 5 feet down from the bog into the pond itself!
