EARTH PONDS SOURCE BK 1E PA by Tim Matson
In the sequel to his bestselling Earth Ponds, Tim Matson offers new ideas, advice, a wealth of resources, and his trademark wit in this sourcebook full of practical information for pond owners. Those who want to build a new pond today are likely to face tighter regulations on wetlands and complicated questions about building methods; those who already own ponds may wonder how to stock it with fish, how to cure an alga or weed problem, or how to cope with beavers. This book addresses all of these issues, and more. Topics covered include: * Pond Building: a concise guide, A to Z * Maintenance: symptoms of a dying pond and some basic and off-the-wall ideas about how to prevent, or reverse, this aging process * Wildlife: how to attract those you want; how to repel those you don't. * Activities and Use: skating, raising fish, saunas and hot tubs, kits for building rafts, docks, and gazebos, pumps for irrigation and pond protection, * Garden ponds: goldfish, ornamental plants * Details about the products on the market, where to buy supplies, and how to get the best for your buck.For more than 25 years, Tim Matson, a writer and aquaculture consultant, has advised people on how to develop and maintain ponds and wetlands through his pond design and restoration consulting organization, Earth Ponds. Yankee, Harrowsmith Rural Life, Country Journal, and Vermont Life have all published his work. He resides in the town of Thetford Center, Vermont.
