WILDLIFE POND WATER ADDITIVE ALL NATURAL GARDEN WILD SAFE HEALTHY ECO-FRIENDLY

This is an amazing water treatment specially made for all-natural garden wildlife ponds to keep healthy water and a natural balance how nature intended.

Once you've built your pond, big or small, there are lots of things you can do to make sure it remains a happy home for the wildlife which lives there.

Put in weeds and plants which will help to balance the pool and give cover to any inhabitants and naturally absorb the nutrients the dreaded algae needs to live on
When your pond is established, you should find that, to an extent, the plant life is naturally maintained by the pond animals which live in it. But unfortunately there is nearly always a time when they cannot deal with it.

Various creatures will keep the level of algae and blanket weed down by eating it for example. But with new ponds, which are yet to host the wildlife which can help keep things clear, you may find blanket weed quickly covers the water's surface, especially in warm weather.

Either way, if you get a build up of floating weeds like this, you can carefully remove it with a stick or net. It's best to leave the leave the weeds and algae by the side of your pond for a night or two, so that you can give any remaining creatures living in it the chance to escape back to the water!

Sometimes other plants can also threaten to take over. Lots of plants for example, can be very invasive, but are also be a brilliant habitat for lots of wildlife. They're easily managed if thinned out regularly, however it's best not to clear more than a third in any one year and, as with floating weeds, it's a good idea to leave plants by the side of the pond to allow the little creatures which live there to escape to the remaining foliage before you remove them to the compost heap.

Algae, or algal blooms, can sometimes take over a pond.
They're naturally occurring aquatic plants and most are not harmful. Those that are though, often only become so because of certain environmental conditions.
Increased nutrient levels in the water, which in a domestic situation is often a result of high numbers of fish.
Long periods of calm hot weather.
Low water levels.
Lack of water circulation.
Using rainwater as opposed to water from a mains tap can often help reduce the amount of nutrients for the algae, as can the addition lots of oxygenating plants, which will soak up the minerals the algae would usually feed on.

During hot calm days where the water's still and warm from the sun, you can try breaking the surface with a brief spray of a hose, to disturb and aerate the water a little. Introducing surface cover plants plants like waterlillies, which have floating leaves, can also help, by reducing the amount of sunlight the algae can get.
