Did you add copper/algea control to the pond?

Did you add copper/algea control to the pond? No. Haven't had a need to. I do fertilize it now and then. |

Nice! When I was a kid, we would cut the top out of an oil drum and punch holes in the bottom so it would sink. Then we would stand it up in about 3 ft of water in the river and lean a log across the top. The turtles would climb up on the log to sun, but every time a boat went by they would slide sideways off the log and into the drum. This looks like a lot less work and more effective. I miss my dad's turtle soup.

That's pretty cool. I've never thought of trapping them.

I’m curious, why remove the turtles from the pond?

I’m curious, why remove the turtles from the pond? They're a pain in the butt when fishing and they eat too much fish food and water lilies. They aren't hurt. I put them in the creek not 20 yards away. I lost count but had over 24 caught. |

Ahh, didn’t realize it was for fishing.
