Garden pond care is more than just cleaning
Garden pond care does not have to be hard work
So that the garden pond care does not degenerate into heavy work, two to three hours should be scheduled weekly for some routine measures. After all, clear water and a beautifully landscaped pond is the garden owners' ideal idea, even though nature regulates many things themselves.
A garden pond is often said that it requires a lot of care, if you really want clear conditions in the pool.Actually, it is rather the regularity, which contributes significantly to the fact that the time spent in the garden pond maintenance is within limits and ensures the proverbial untroubled enjoyment of the natural pool. The main objective of these care works should always be to extract nutrients from the garden pond in the most ecological way possible to prevent the formation of fermentation gases and algae growth.
Step plan instead of complete renovation
Even though our five gardening care tips can not guarantee that your ornamental pond will remain 100% algae-free, the biological balance will remain under control:

Even if it looks very cute, when the first couple of wild ducks settle on their garden pond and the aquatic snail problem is partially resolved, scare away the chattering visitors, who otherwise start to enjoy their aquatic plants very quickly. Apart from the excrement that collects in the pond water, there is a risk that cercariae form, which can cause extreme itching in swimming ponds. In addition, even mallards have been spotted, the biting fights delivered with the pond liner and have won!
Change turbid water?
Even if it seems logical at first sight to completely or partially pump out the greenish colored pool water in favor of a refill, you should not do it. With proper and regular garden pond care, the water will almost naturally resolve itself in a biological way and, by the way, even chemical dough cleaners, even in the interest of your naturally flowering pond plants, can be completely dispensed with.
Tips
If the water level in the pond sinks sharply after a prolonged period of heat, you should only fill in rainwater that was previously mechanically filtered. The dirt deposits on the house roof but also the often very low pH of the water from the rain barrel otherwise have an unfavorable effect on the pond flora.
