Hi friends
We have a small wildlife pond in our garden since last 6 years, and now the lilies and aquatic plants have outgrown their baskets.I would like to clean out the pond and remove all the sludge, but I am worried about the newts, snails, water boatmen and so on.
Please suggest some best ideas.


Thank You

If you're going to attempt clean-out with your dozer you'll have to get rid of the water. A small excavator would work well to dig a sump in one end and pump the water out. Once you get rid of water and let dry out a bit you should be able to start working the dirt out. Hopefully there is good solid bottom or you might be SOL to clean with your 6.

Clean pond water for your garden fish pool is not difficult to accomplish if you understand a few basic principles. All fishponds need three things: clean water, fish and oxygen.
