Things
you the homeowner can think about before stopping in to Kulaks Nursery.
1. What is the location you have in mind for building
your pond?
Ponds should be a focal point. Can you see your pond
from your patio or deck? Is it visible from your kitchen or living
room window? Is the area close to electricity? If not how do you
plan on getting electricity to your pond? We do suggest that you
have your pond on its own circuit.
2.
How large of a pond are you considering? Ponds that
will be built to over-winter fish need to be at a depth of 24 inches.
Fish can safely survive at this depth. This is also the maximum
depth for most town ordinances that does not require any kind of
fencing to be installed around the pond. Keep this in mind when
considering depths above 24 inches.
3.
Will you be adding plants and or fish? Plants are
an excellent way to help in filtering your pond. The most ideal
places to put pond plants are in an area that has movement, ie:
the waterfall, stream, or near the filter. Some suggestions are:
umbrella grass, papyrus, water hyacinth, and iris. All of these
plants are available for purchase at our garden center.
