There are a number of things to consider here. My question is......why are you trying to keep it going? Are there fish in it? Plants? If so then you can either try to keep it going the best you can with frequent water changes and mosquito control. Otherwise, if there are not fish, etc. I would drain it. Who knows when someone will move into the place and they may not even want the pond. I don't what what part of the country you are in but depending on the size of the pond, its going to freeze if you live in a cold winter climate. Personally, I would just pump it out. Even if it has fish you could catch them, put them in a holding container and offer them up for free on Craigslist or something like that.

First of all, according to various people, you may want to reconsider keeping your catfish and pond fish together. I posted a link below - or you can do a search yourself on the subject. In our pond in Upstate NY (similar in zone to you), I remove all my tropical plants in early October. We cut back our hardy water lilies which are planted directly in the pond and drop to the bottom the other hardy plants. Our pond is 3 feet deep and approx. 3,000 gallons so the fish overwinter in the pond. I don't know what you should do with a pond that small. We purchased a plastic 100 gallon tub at Country Max for our tropical plants, and I think that would work well for your fish if you decide to bring them indoors. You would have to add a pump or air stone for aeration and something for filtration. My husband altered the "plug" with a faucet and we can drain it pretty easily with a garden hose into our basement sewer come spring. Here is a link that might be useful: catfish in a pond

Well I went out and pulled off the dark brown/black ones that have dried out. Cracking open the shell was a lot like cracking open some peanuts. Anyways, the beans that came out were perfect. I still have the original batch of soybeans from the asian market. My grown ones look almost exactly the same. The only difference is that mine are just not quite as fat. Also I'm growing some mung beans. Same deal there, I pulled off a dry pod and cracked it open. The beans look the same as the bag of mung beans I grew them from. I'm still amazed I got any beans at all from these plants. I mean I truly treated them like crap. They were not at the edge of my balcony but close to my door. So they only got direct sunlight for about 5 hours a day. The stuff at the edge get 8 or 9 hours. I grew them in crappy $4 for 40 pound "organic" potting soil. No fertilizers added or anything. I really haven't been very diligent with watering them either. These bean plants never had any good looking leaves. They've all been full of brown spots and frayed edges. I've built one of those earthbox type self watering containers and have a tomato plant and basil plant in it. They've grown so quick and look so healthy. I'm going to build some more and I want to try a soybean plant in there to see how it does when it's treated nice.

Help! I have a point pond about 700 gals. I have tea colored water. I have a 850 gal pressurized pond filter, a UV light a small 600 gal. pond filter and a 900 gal. Laguna power jet filter. I have water lilies, hyacinth (3), creeping Jenny, black elephant ears ( planted in clay), a fountain, and two waterfalls. The pond gets morning sun only and only for 4 hours(daybreak till 10am or so) I have lost to of my fish to dropsy in the last month. Water tested good, all within limits. I have done a quick clean of the small filter, but left the big one alone. I have salted my pond, used pimafix and melafix, added good bacteria, partial water exchange (20%), and I am afraid I will lose more fish and be left with plants and a tea colored pond. I live in the Poco o Mtns. in Pa. and we have a small window for summer, and have had a ton of rain this year. Can someone give me advice! First time mommy to koi, dumb! ANY advise will be great. Thanks
