Does anyone know what proper pond care is needed? Our neighbors have a man made pond made by the prior owners. I know the bottom has beer bottles because the last owner's daughter and her boyfriend tossed their beer bottles into the pond.
The current owners pretend the pond isn't there. they even took out the solar lights around teh pond.
The water only circulates when we have a major flood. Then it creates a river through my yard. The bugs have taken over and even the hordes of teeny frogs (some small enough to sit on a dime - very very cute!!) cannot keep them in check.
I have thought about putting dunks in the pond. They are little donut shaped things that kill only skeeters for about a month. They are not harmful to pets, livestock or people even thought they recommend not putting them into water you are about to drink from.
Are there other things that should be done to care for a pond?
