I noticed a stunt in growth when my iron levels were very low, I would add iron chelate. Could be something like this or similar deficiency if you do some searches for indicators you might be able to narrow it down. iron seemed to be common in my area, however once I added the iron everything exploded in growth including massive algae blooms so heads up!

Oklahoma zone 6 or 7 I think

I raked em out and fed em to my peacocks

haha

I got some,if you want come get some !

@@vishnukv5251 I'm good man. Thanks for the offer though.

Me too..

I read somewhere it's poisonous if eaten in large quantities but fortunately I think Koi know this. My kois eat the roots of water hybiscus but I've never seen them eat the water lettuce.

Liner with rocks

I don't recall the number, but enter the dirt road East side of lake @104th SE and Stan Draper rd, follow it to a hard left turn and head south then keep right at the fork to the end and your there. Its a real great spot.

Point 14

my peacocks and p hens just love it, chickens not so much. one holistic lady i know says you can boil/prepare it to be edible. do NOT try it raw! lmao big mistake.. BIG! lol

you worried a coyote will figure out how to open the lock ?

@@thesilence6543 coyote gets whacked in head if he learns to open the latch

That is a wire cable not a string. Yeah not the typical backyard chicken spot. I've never had a break in with it but I also use solar night guard flashers hanging on a tree nearby. The bungee was frayed from weather, the bungee was 2 yrs old when it was filmed at the end. Yes they free range next to a forest line on the opposite side of my yard. I've let the survivors breed and pass on the traits for years. They replenish their numbers each year and regain their survival skills. neighborhood dogs running wild are the biggest nuisance, haven't had the heart to blow all their brains out yet but its getting close.

Nah yotes stick to the tree line pretty good I've never had a yotie prob at night. Mama yotie will snake one near the forest treeline every so often mid mornish. Coons breaking in from up top and any weak points at night and peoples dogs loose are the biggest nuisances in my area. I have game cams yoties and bobcat attacks are the most rare but do occur but mostly when some get the idea of roosting out in a tree doing something away from the group. Hawks coons big snakes and peoples dogs are the main preds.

@@RRaucina Then the door is left wide open for the coyote to come back and eat the chickens

Thanks for your comment. I find it amazing that you stumbled upon this video. Yes you do know this amazing place=). I too grew up on this lake as well 25 years ago, surely we've rubbed shoulders at some point=) my brother and I would raft out to the island to catch salamanders while our dad fished. The moose would come take a drink almost everyday. Good memories, the best memories. My dad also grew up here when he was a kid. Our great grandparents owned the land down at the bottom near the Weber river. They've all passed and sold their land, fortunately my brother bought and kept a small 1 acre lot/land at the bottom so we'd always have access. I live in Oklahoma, I made this video when I visited last year and took my boy. My dogs first time out of the southern country, they were surely impressed. I was shocked to see my relatives old land cleared and monster cabins built. Quite a few huge cabins and big money has moved in over the years. Cant wait to go back and fish the Weber next year. My brother and I want to build a cabin there one day.

@@benrocklyfe8789 wow. That seriously brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing. If I paid you or your brother, could I maybe visit the lake, just once?

@@susieaddams6643 nonesense you wouldn't have to pay. We can exchange info and I can give ya a heads up when we go. I do plan to visit more frequently to do some fishin down the weber, I'd be glad to let ya in=)# Four zeero Five - 8 zero 2 - Two Three 7sixx

They are quite hearty, I've had them grow through the winter inside in a bucket without any air.

@@benrocklyfe8789 Gr8! Mine olso hs gvn lots of lil 1.. I oftn put zm in z sun.. Thnx loads😊

yes, I try to do clean outs every so often and try to keep up with adding clarifying bacteria's and all the rest

Lots of Cats, Koi, Lake Minnow, Bluegill and a bunch of random weirdos from the pet store, it's been years I don't know who ate who by now, but the lake minnow and bluegill reproduce profusely and ate very abundant. I will upload some new vids of them soon!

It seems the larger the body of water the more difficult it is to correct a nutrient imbalance for the plants etc. I did get it worked out last year and will upload more when I get a chance!

Thanks man, leaving the city was one of the best things I ever did. Cheap property out here only 40k. Cheap living enabled me to regroup invest in a business and get strong. Almost time now for an upgrade. I'm going to miss this place and my happy chickens ...

I feel u bro. I live in N.O. but this the hood and i got 5 hens and 2 roosters. I bring that country life to the city 😂

@@moeorleanz lol shoot, that's wassup

30ft wide x 45ft long 6ft deep

Feed store's got 50lb bags of floating catfish food for about $18 lasts about a year

Thank you I appreciate that, OK City

@@benrocklyfe8789 thanks man gorgeous

LoL its water dye. Because I think its cool.

Its dyed water

Carter Day yeh there are no size or quantity limits for channel cats at this lake.

Actually yes, it seems each year the more plants the better ecosystem and water condition. This pond has too many large fish and lots of waste. The lettuce was a big help. Each lettuce hangs about a foot long root cluster. I used some floating hula hoop type pipe to contain them in circles this year I'll do a video on it soon!

Pietern Vanheerden oh daaang! Greetings to South Africa!!

Pietern Vanheerden guppys and small frogs LOVE water lettuce! Link for water lettuce in the description! =)

Cool man, I'd love to see it. I was all trial and error, holler if you have any questions. I've since set up an aquaponics system on this one I havn't gotten around to posting yet. Pond's are alot of ongoing work but the life and beauty that it attracts is amazing =)

You really should get a uv light to have crystal clear water

hey yeah that was last summer, I dug all that lettuce out ;) where do you live? no lettuce there? they cost 2 bucks at the plant store=)

OneLoveLife I live in California I really wish I could get some water lettuce but I can't seem to find them any where

OneLoveLife if you get more water lettuce can you send me some?

Here is the place to get water lettuce:amzn.to/2HlDafL here is much cheaper than me shipping it too, GL! =)

bubbles and water lettuce=)

all fish add additional waste to the pond, cats stay at the bottom, this pond is 6ft, any stir remains at the bottom I don't ever see it.
