Water is such an important part of our lives, and I can't think of anyone who doesn't enjoy the relaxing sound of a gurgling brook or splashing waterfall. Ponds and fountains in your yard adds value to your property...as long as they look and smell inviting! But let algae begin to take over and the attraction of your water feature will dwindle and turn to revulsion.
The best plan, of course, is to start out with a clean pond or fountain and maintain it with an environmentally friendly, 100% organic product, BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner For you lucky folks who haven't yet filled or even built your pond, you can start off right by keeping it clean with monthly doses of BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner.
If you find yourself having to fix a growing algae problem, you've probably dealt with chemical mixes to kill the algae, then something else to remove it and/or the odor. One of the benefits of BiOWiSH™ Pond & Fountain Conditioner is that, without chemicals, it consumes the algae instead of killing it. This process reduces accumulated bottom sludge and improve water clarity and odor.
When you first apply BiOWiSH™ Pond & Tank Conditioner, the biology of the water will be bought back to life. This can cause short-term darkening of water as bottom sludge gains buoyancy. This is all part of the accelerated decomposition process. Over the course of 1-2 weeks you will see the water becoming progressively clearer, blue green algal growth will be removed and sludge or waste accumulation will be eliminated. And there is no need to worry about adverse effects on aquatic plants or animals, pets or people. It's completely safe to use; a natural cleaner from the earth, for the earth.

Seedling Update, etc.
Our seeds went into my newspaper seedling pots on Monday, March 1st and have been in my kitchen garden window. As of today, Wednesday, March 10th, there are two seedlings sprouting out of the eight pots. Both are lettuces…no spinach sprouts yet. Hubby is worried. I’m more of an optimist, but will note that the first three nights the pots spent in the window, which does get cold at night. Not a whole lot of insulation between the floor of the window and the outside. In fact, I’ve insulated between the pots and the floor of the window to keep the temperature more even, and am taking the pots out of the window at night. Since we keep our house at a brisk 62 degrees at night, hubby recommended that they go in the oven overnight, which I thought was a good idea. So into the oven they go, at night (of course it’s off!) Will keep you posted as to progress. I’m ready, this weekend, to start my impatients.
I also wanted to comment on an article I read in March/April AARP magazine (oops, just gave away a hint as to my age!) The article is called “It Is Easy Being Green”, and talked about a global group of eco-minded organizations called Earth Day Network. This network is trying to encourage people worldwide to one billion Earth Day “acts of green” on April 22nd this year; something as simple as picking up litter to organizing cleanup crews for a polluted river. I’m going to see if hubby wants to participate by donating BiOWiSH-Aqua™ to the local Parks and Recreation Department. Since it is a completely organic and ecologically harmless method of maintaining proper pond chemistry, and since it would be FREE, I think they will be very interested!

How to Build a Backyard Pond
We all know how relaxing it is to listen to the trickle of water, to watch fish swim lazily in an aquarium or pond. Backyard ponds also have the benefit of taking up space that might otherwise be taken up by lawn, and lawns are notorious water users. As we all move to more sustainable living, backyard ponds have increased in popularity. They provide habitat and reduce water usage in a yard.
However, there is the big headache that ponds come with - blue algae. It can quickly suck all the enjoyment out of having a backyard pond when you find yourself researching algae removal products, finding a supplier, mixing and adding, and adding some more. Well, I have five very important words for you...BiOWiSH™ Pond and Tank Conditioner. This is the most powerful Microbial Enzyme technology available anywhere, and it will rapidly remove organic contaminants from your water. These contaminants are converted to their final elements, which are off-gassed as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor. In the process your water is kept clean, free of nutrients and algae and in good chemical balance just as nature intended. You'll want to order a packet along with the backyard pond building materials you'll be using so that you're all set to go. Then follow the easy steps below for a lovely water feature of your own.

Step 1 - Locate
To determine the location of your new pond, keep in mind the layout of your yard and the type of plants that you wish to use. Place a preformed pond liner in the predetermined location, stand inside it and outline the shape on the ground with a shovel. If you will be using the sheet-style of pond liner, use a garden hose to outline the shape you’ve chosen.
Step 2 - Excavate
Dig a hole just a little larger and deeper than the pond.
Step 3 - Backfill
Bed the hole with a layer of compacted sand, place the preformed plastic pond or sheet liner in and level it. Using loose dirt or sand, fill in around it. Stop when perimeter is half full.
Step 4 - Fill With Water
Alternately fill the pond with water and backfill perimeter with dirt or loose sand a little at a time so that both the pond and the hole are completely filled and these steps are finished concurrently. If you are using chlorinated water, wait 24 to 48 hours before placing plants or fish into the pond. Place stones or paving bricks naturally around the perimeter to cover the edge.
Step 5 - Now Enjoy!
By installing two or more ponds adjoining each other, you can create a small water park or borders for a bridge. Washed, decorative stones may be placed on the bottom of the pond. Dirt and sediment that fall in will be less noticeable. Sutherlands also carry water runs to make installing a custom waterfall easy. Aquatic lighting will enhance your pond at night.
Some flowers that do well in the moist soil around your pond are Marigolds, Irises, Forget-me-nots and mint. This last you might want to consider planting in containers as they are famous for spreading! Choices of plants for in the pond are numerous, including a prolific variety of lilies. Some plants are restricted in certain states, so be sure to check before ordering.
Fish are a nice addition to your pond, but beware of critters that eat them! You may want to go with inexpensive, hardy goldfish rather than expensive koi. You’ll be less concerned that way if you look out a window one day, wondering where your fish are going, and you see a heron standing next to your pond with a fish in it’s beak. There are decoy herons available online that may discourage live herons from eating your fish, as they are very territorial birds.

Pond & Fountain Deux
When first using BiOWiSH Pond & Tank Conditioner to clean out the algae in your backyard pond, fountain, or indoor fish tanks, you'll be amazed at the way it cleans out the goo!
The first application will bring the biology of the water back to life. This can cause short-term darkening of the water as the bottom sludge gains buoyancy. This is all part of the accelerated decomposition process. Over the course of 1-2 weeks, you'll see the water becoming progressively clearer, as blue green algal growth is removed and sludge or waste accumulation is eliminated.
This product is completely safe to use around, and even beneficial to humans, animals and plants. BiOWiSH Pond & Tank Conditioner is used in many, many commercial applications where it is directly applied to animal's drinking water, aquaculture production water, crops, hydroponics waters and general water treatment. The product is 100% organic and non-toxic. You can check out a video of this treatment by clicking this YouTube link.
