Fall Pond Preparation: Pond Dye & Pond Bacteria

Pond maintenance is a task that has to be handled year round in order to keep a pond at the highest aesthetic level. This means prepping a pond for the fall months to maintain it through the winter months and into the gorgeous spring months where a pond flourishes. Fall pond preparation cannot be overlooked if pond owners want to enjoy a beautiful pond year round.

When water temperatures fall below 50 degrees weeds and algae become more difficult to treat. The cooler temperatures stifle weeds and algae from absorbing nutrients so they will not absorb any algaecides or herbicides that are administered during this cold time. This is where fall pond preparation is most important. Pond owners have to treat their pond with heavier than normal doses of pond dye and pond bacteria to ensure the pond has plenty of both to make it through the chilly winter months. This fall pond preparation will enable pond owners to have the healthiest possible pond start up in the spring months, when owners really want to enjoy a beautiful pond. Not only can steps such as these ensure a more beautiful pond, but they can also ensure a less stressful pond start up and save pond owners time and money.
