The Water Garden

Winter

Prevent the pond from forming a solid layer of ice during the winter, as this will trap poisonous methane gas released by decaying vegetation. Before winter sets in, float an inflated ball on the surface of the water to keep the pond from freezing over entirely, or use a pool heater.
