I purchased a de-icer for the pond … another investment.

Bob’s cold weather will be heading our way in the next couple days so we should get the de-icer tested to see if it keeps the pond open.

Hi Debbie,
I have no idea what this must be like. We are fortunate to get a little rain around here.

Congrats Debbie

keep an eye on it, a few times over the course of winter, the snow can cover the hole….....like an Igloo. I just give the snow a tap with a shovel and the hole returns.

Good luck with your new de-icer Debbie.Hope it works out for you.Isn’t it amazing how a simple project like a fish pond can just keep adding up expenses all year.
