Hi Mark! Just subscribed. I get questions all the time about algae. When it is especially mucky, yep... gotta drain and clean. I have had good luck this year with floating plants and a 40% shade cloth. I tell my friends never to overfeed the fish, but they don't understand how this leads to algae.

Hi Mark, I’d be really interested to know how you collected all the newts separately. We have a flexible liner lined pond with newts of all ages from tiny to mature adults and my biggest worry would be making sure all the newts are protected and returned after the cleaning process. We also have a pair of grass snakes which appear in our pond especially on very hot days.

Any recommendations on clearing out mint from a pond? The people who lived here before us decided to plant mint in the ground next to the pond and it has completely taken over everything! I feel bad for the fish they hardly have room to swim :(
