Preparing for
winter
Upstream, it's the main water garden or
pond.
Here I am getting ready to install my system
to keep my fish safe during the
winter (de-icer).
It's very cold in the water and I have to go
in pond. So I bought a protective
garment to go in the water. Boots and
pants in one piece, waterproof.

Preparing for winter
Closing the stream
from the backyard pond using the dam method.
During the construction of the pond, I
thought of making a fold "U" with the EPDM
membrane to the outlet of the pond (junction
with the 200' creek). |

Preparing for winter
In fall when closing the stream, I lift the envelope (10 cm or 6 inches)
from the pond liner and this is a small dam. This prevents the water out of the
pond.
Use bricks to stay it in place. |
