If you live in a climate where autumns are orange and winters are white, maintaining a garden pond will require more effort than if you lived where the seasons stay green. Once you winterize your equipment for the cold months, garden pond maintenance stops. And when it starts again, it can be a bear. If you’ll soon face a spring garden pond that you aren’t sure how to maintain, we list the ideal steps for bringing it back from its long hibernation.

3. Clear Away Accumulated Debris
Begin by spooning away leaves, twigs, and other debris that can be removed with a net. Then drain your pond’s liquid into a large tub, placing its fish in the tub when it becomes too shallow to cover them. After draining the remaining liquid, use a shop vacuum to clean away the sludge from the basin, but don’t scrub the pond’s lining free of algae. If the water contains plants, leave them in place or keep them in the tub with the fish. Continue Reading…
