I like how Ed took the time to point out the fish were not stressed, what a relief; awesome attention and sensitivity to these creatures you have Ed, you guys worked so hard to finish up that pond, so cool to feel apart of it!
Greg you can add doing the future right. Both environmentally right and kids working futures. Keep up the great job sharing your passion and encouraging others. My heart is singing right now.
Hopefully within the next 12-18 months we will have $20k saved up to have koi pond installed in MT!! 50 acres of Briden's animal rescue ranch! I've been obsessed with water features & ponds since I was a young teen. Ready to add to our homestead!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! ❤❤❤
great coverage on the plants in the pond. those Victorians are sick, but not for me. i cant wait to see how that big project is coming along in Mahomet. but i do have a technical question, is it completely necessary to jut the liner off just right after the waters edge?
The Fishy Life ! That’s a difficult question for me to answer..... Let me explain: I’m an Ecologist and this discipline is very different than other specialties in the sciences, Icthyologists specialize in Fish Ornithologists specialize in birds Phycologists specialize in algae, etc..... Ecologists study and understand them all, the root word of Ecology is Oikos which means “home” Ology is the “Study of” Ecology means the “study of the home” In other words it’s difficult to specialize in “fish” for example without taking the other surrounding components of the fishes “home” into consideration. In order to fully understand the fish you need to understand where it lives(North or South) the water temperature, water chemistry, what level within the water column it prefers(benthic or pelagic) what it eats, what eats it, etc...... So my answer is the Ecosystem is my favorite part because it connects all of the disciplines together into One...... Sorry for the long response
Are there special planters for lillies because I heard their roots can get big and take over a pond. The old pond I got rid of had a lilly plant in it and took all my power to pry the roots from the bottom. Or do you need to just keep trimming the roots before they get insanely massive? Thanks.
Dick Schmidt Water lilies can be problematic when the conditions are right. We’ll use a combination of strategies to control them. Certain species don’t get out of control which is the best method! Using planting pots that can be removed on a yearly basis for routine maintenance(trimming and fertilizing) works great but if left unchecked water lilies will eventually outgrow the container and start spreading along the bottom of the pond if there’s enough nutrients/detritus available for them. Water lilies are like any other garden perennial and have specific requirements for optimal growth.
@@edbeaulieu5916 Thank you for the informative reply. Do any planting pots suffice, or are there pots that are easier to work with and better for the plant? I've bought one water lilly planter pot and it's like a mesh bag, are these any good? I haven't used it yet.
Dick Schmidt I like the mesh planters because they’re flexible and can sit on uneven surfaces easily. Rigid planters that are wide and shallow 8” or less in depth work well and are easy to handle and maintain

It will be interesting to see how big the Victorian gets. I hope you will be able to winterize it and keep it alive some how.
james knevelbaard It’ll be interesting to see.....
Ed Beaulieu I’m friends with the owner of Southwest Aquatics and Jim over wintered one last winter here in central California. It is an amazing plant.

Those lily pads are ridiculous. The only time I've seen those were in amazon documentaries i think. They looked gigantic.
