There's a pond where my mom works that she's now in charge of..and it needs some SERIOUS help. I don't know the exact specs on it, but from what I've heard it's totally self maintained (as in...they're too lazy to watch over it until i convinced my mom to do something about it)
It has a double waterfall on one end and below that just a shallow outstretch of barren green alge filled pond, about 1 foot deep at the deepest part in the center and it's host to a pool of koi.
I'll get some pics as soon as i can and some more specific details. As of now they do nothing to the pond it freezes over in the winter and when it thaws out in the spring a bunch of baby koi appear...and then during summer they seem to disappear... or something, then it freezes again in the winter... just a endless cycle. And because they're in a drought up there the water levels are dropping and they rarely refill it...
Please just tell me anything you know about ponds and any ideas to help fix this one.
