Robin (N.IL zone 5) replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"scary how it's not safe for fish but we put our kids in them. Years and years ago my uncle kept his koi in a plastic kiddie pool with no problems. But that is when alot of stuff was still being made in america.
do you think the rubber bins used…"
Walt Gray AR replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Rubbermaid tubs - the big ones, are supposed to be fish safe. Not so sure about plastic swimming pools. I know the ones with the big blow up rings are NOT fish safe.

"Carmen - I'm so sorry to hear of all your pond problems. My son-in-law masterminded and engineered my new pond and knock on wood, it seems fine so far. I placed all the rocks outside of the pond; Andrew built up the rocks on the inside of…"
Craig Hayes replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"When I rebuilt my pond I used plastic 5 gallon buckets. I dipped them in the pond to fill them with pond water so as not to shock the fish. I also filled a kiddie pool to place all the pants in. Cover the buckets with screen if worried about…"
Kimberly Harmeyer replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Hi Carmen

Brenda Bartz replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Good Afternoon, If you have koi, be sure to put a net over them, or some type of cover, they are known to "jump" out and would not want you to lose any. Brenda"
Tom Wieland replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"I have had to do this twice in the life of my pond, I use a 2 ft high 6ft accross plastic kiddie pool, the kind with thin plastic that when done, you roll it up and store it. I fill it with water from a hose, then add…"
Robin (N.IL zone 5) replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Check out Target or Dollar Tree they have Butterfly Nets for $1.00 It's the same material they they use for fish nets but a nice size for scooping out of a pond, if you're not sure about the strenght between the net and handle just…"
Robin (N.IL zone 5) replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Just make sure you use the pond water and the pump, so your water doesn't have to cycle again. If you use fresh water the water will have to go through the cycles again and you will end up loosing fish.
I personally have a 75 gal tank…"
Kimberly White, Lombard, IL,Zn 5 replied to Carmen Adams's discussion Taking The Fish Out Of The Pond.... in the group Water Gardens"Last winter we took the fish out of the pond because we were afraid the pond was too shallow for them to overwinter.

Our House & Garden
We bought this house in 2001, moving here from Seattle, WA. Tired of the rain & traffic we really enjoy being able to grow things here. Eastern WA. is desert compare to the West side. With only 6-8 inches of annual rainfall, we use irrigation water for the grounds & gardens.
We have 2 1/2 acres of property. It sure keeps us busy weeding, spraying, trimming, mowing, planting & watering. I love this place & love to garden. Hubby literally has to tell me to stop buying plants...lol. My dream is to have a greenhouse someday and start my own flowers & veggies from seed. Course I would probly live in it :)
I'm sure glad to have found this website & look forward to reading, answering questions & looking at all the wonderful, beautiful pictures of everyones gardens...wow!!
