This is a very good book for those who already have a pond. It does not get into the design and construction of ponds, but concentrates on maintaining the pond you have. This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not need to design or construct a pond; however, I did need the knowledge to maintain an existing pond, and this book fit the bill perfectly. It covers: * Water quality – the nitrogen cycle and what tests you need to perform * Filtration – types of filters, filter media, cleaning filters * Algae and plants – types of plants and how to grow them, how to contain algae * Fish – the different types of fish suitable for a pond and how to diagnose problems * Pond cleaning – when and how to clean the pond * Seasonal maintenance. – fall and winter preparations Also this book is illustrated with many full color pictures so you can see clearly what the author is talking about.
Borrowed this book from the library but have to buy it. It’s a good reference and does great explanations. Real helpful for a novice like me.
This gem of a book contains all the information a new pond owner needs to maintain a healthy, happy water feature. It’s very readable, well-organized, and succinct.
