Keeping Your Pond Healthy As it Gets Cold

By simply making sure that your pond is free from dead leaves from trees, grass clippings from mowing, and more, you can ensure that your pond is free from the debris that could harbor that your pond in order to ensure that your pond remains healthy all throughout the season. For pond owners who own fish, making sure not to feed your fish as often once temperatures drop past 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Only requiring weekly feeding once the temperatures drop, your fish will soon be hibernating and will only need a fraction of the food they normally eat, meaning that it’s very easy to overfeed your fish if you feed them any more than that.
