Cleaning the pond
Cleaning the duck pond is one of those jobs that has to be done each year. No choice about it. Clean it or let it fester, especially in the heat we endured in May. So last week, we drained it, shoveled out all the muck, cleaned it and refilled it. Thankfully, the ducks seemed to appreciate our work and have had quite a time splashing about in the clean water.
Meanwhile, the muck from the bottom of the pond will be used to top up the compost in the potato bags we have on our drive. Nothing wasted!
