Using Child's Swimming Pool For Pond
We have a plastic turtle-shaped sandbox that my children no longer use. Can I fill that with water and water plants to make a pond? If so, is it okay to put a couple of goldfish in it, too? Thanks!

Keeping Algae from Growing in a Pond
I have a pond that measures about 30' across and is about 5' deep in the very center, and I want to keep algae from forming without having to treat the water with chemicals, or clutter the pond with plants to block out the sunlight.

Keep Raccoons Out of Your Pond
I have a 2x1/2 ft deep pond in my backyard and am looking for some ideas to keep the raccoons from eating my fish. I would prefer not to put an electric wire surrounding the pond.

Build Your Pond Close To Your Home
If possible it is a better idea to locate a garden pond closer to your home rather than far away. Ponds are like swimming pools - they attract wild critters, pets and also the neighborhood children. If it is where you can keep an eye on it, it is also easier for you to respond to emergencies or shut the power off on the fountain if necessary.

Keep Roots From Damaging Your Pond's Lining
When trying to determine where to situate your pond, try not to situate the pond liner too near any young trees. People often forget that these trees will grow larger over time and the risk is that the roots will grow towards the water source and eventually puncture the pond's lining!

If you are planning on growing water lilies in your back yard pond make sure the pond is situated in place where it receives at least five or six hours of sunlight a day.

Attracting Frogs and Toads to Your Pond
If you want to attract frogs and toads to your pond then make sure it has a sizeable shallow area that is not any deeper than six inches deep. Fill this area with lots of rocks for them to hide under so they feel camouflaged and safe.

Keeping Ornamental Fish Alive in the Winter
If you are trying to keep ornamental fish outdoors during the winter but find that they don't seem to be surviving the season the culprit is your pond liner. It is simply not deep enough to allow the Koi fish to find a place to hibernate for the winter.

Make Sure Your Pond is Large Enough for Koi
Before planning to host Koi in your pond make sure it is big enough and large enough to support the ecosystem of these delicate fish. Koi need lots of room to thrive in so it is recommended that the pond be at least five feet deep and be able to contain at least 1000 gallons or water.
