Irrigation of Acre Size Ponds
Hi Folks
Our acre + pond always had irrigation water in it along with algae, weeds, etc. I spoke with some pond caretakers and they advised me to
aerate the pond, in order to improve the quality of water, especially for the five different types of fish that we have. Found this outfit in New York (my home state) that sold Windmills that pump air and water. Talked my neighbors into buying one and
proceeded to build this giant erector set. Spent two additional days
preping it for painting, selected the color of the trim of the house - Dark Green, Joyce gets credit for the idea and color.
That me sitting down tighting the hold down bolts. It's a dual-head pump,
so we aerate two sections of the pond, the deepest part is 12 feet deep and
goes up to 6 feet.
Of course I much rather be playing with an old Classic vehicle, but hey,
this is fun too. The Valleys trees are turning all different colors, this
is one of the best times of the year. Plenty of clean crisp air and the best
drinking water, bar none.
When I finish landscaping our front acreage next spring, I'll send some
pictures. Already had our first frost, so planting comes to a halt.
Have a good week and thanks for such a great product.
John
