Amazing *FARM POND* Renovation

[@joehilton6951]

I’ve watched pretty much every vlog you’ve ever put out and I’m still going through all the old ones. Hundreds of vlogs later and I’m still mesmerised by every pond you show. I can’t help but smile

[@lindaleslie5634]

I loved watching the episode where y'all brought this Pond back to life and all the hard work that went into it! I'm glad you revisited it so we could see it once again in all its Glory! 💖Love this pond!💖

[@michaelfiore2837]

This is the video I've been looking for. We're a retail nursery in Texas (and an Aquascape dealer.) Our existing ponds in front of our store are a constant maintenance nightmare, I'm currently looking for ways to remedy them using Aquascape principles. More videos like this please! Algae and water clarity are HUGE issues in TX!

I just laid new drainage tile and dug a 750 ft swell. I'm hoping my land will dry out enough to begin excavation this May. Planning a kidney shape with a longer leg 150x250 clay bottom. I'm super pumped.

Hi Greg Another fantastic pond , over here in the UK there’s a lot of haters who say rock and gravel ponds are bad for the fish as they just sit in their own waste , look at the comments on peter waddingtons channel ( waddy) , I’ve tried to explain how you eco systems work but just get shot down by the haters . Keep the videos coming 👍

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

martin hoyt an age old battle. Just got back from Japan. All their grow out “mud ponds” have lots of rock and gravel 🤔

[@edbeaulieu5916]

I’d love to discuss/showcase the benefits.... And I will showcase them in upcoming Pond Professor Vlog’s!

[@K.W.P.R]

Ed Beaulieu don’t need to convince me Ed Take a look at peter waddingtons channel and look in the comments section, his channel is waddypete the video in question is we should always have a choice , it’s quite shocking the comments

This may be a stupid question but when he says they will be able to fish for the bass which are in there, how do they stop the chances of hooking the large koi by accident?

[@SariAlShammari]

Take a shot every time he say "AquaScape life style"

[@chrisbentley909]

So their is a big rock Illinois and Little Rock Arkansas

[@edbeaulieu5916]

Chris Bentley That’s ironic because we don’t have a lot of rock easily accessible here but Arkansas is loaded!!!

[@ricardocharles1568]

[@inmotion81]

Ponds like this you should shut the pumps off in spring so the bass can spawn.

[@tedmccannon1166]

The large mouth bass, catfish & koi reproduce with the pumps running We have catfish up to 36”. Koi are even bigger.

[@muliaagungdesign840]

the best..

[@russiangod695]

If you would to do a pond in Massachusetts, like I’m thinking to do one when I’m older, most likely when I have my own house, like will it be possible to do it with the cold weather. And if I would do that, how much would it cost?

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Yes, you can have a pond in cold weather. We have installers in Canada and the ponds do just fine. You can get an idea of costs by looking at the water features here: www.aquascapeconstruction.com/water-gardening-store

[@russiangod695]

Thank you very much

[@peacefulaqua6221]

Amazing pond, can get a canoe on that water :P

[@mr.gameandteach7197]

I have an existing pond too. It's fluctuates. Would you recommend doing something like this for my pond? It's a quarter acre.

[@friendsmakingmusic1751]

So is that a lined pond or one that was just dug?

[@SintoJoseph]

Doesn't the pumps increase the electricity bills or are they solar powered.

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Sinto Joseph- the pumps are very energy efficient and they will raise the cost of electricity, but not by much.

[@SintoJoseph]

@@GregWittstockThePondGuy ok

[@andyjones6361]

What is the annual electric cost for the pond??

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

Electrical costs vary depending on type/size of pump used, whether you have lights or other electronic devices such as an Automatic Dosing System, aerator, etc.

[@yvonneselwa9148]

Id love to know how much this cost

[@marianthipapastergiadis7744]

This is absolutely amazing, but I wonder how much energy is used for all the pumps and everything. If the aim is to increase biodiversity and all that, is using fossil fuel to power the pond counterproductive? Would love to hear a reply thanks Ed and Greg!!!

[@edbeaulieu5916]

maz p The only pump that needs to operate continuously is approx. 750 Watts which runs the Wetland Filter, the other pumps are used periodically but do have a benefit for Increasing the Dissolved Oxygen and helping with debris removal. There are a lot of factors that go into determining the Pro’s vs. Con’s: The old pond was well into the eutrophication process which is not necessarily a bad thing and it’s a normal part of the lifespan of a pond, everything will eventually die including ponds..... The true benefit for the local wildlife(pollinators, insects, birds and amphibians) would be considered priceless because they perform a lot of ecosystem services for the surrounding community, pollination of crops, dragonflies, frogs, and bats eat mosquitoes and other disease causing flying insects, the high biological activity within the Wetland Filter sucks CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, etc...... If this system was not being used the alternative is chemical treatment to control weed growth(what’s the environmental cost of the chemicals including the Carbon footprint for packaging and transportation of the chemicals to the site and then what’s the impact on the animal community? It raises a great question and without a more detailed breakdown it’s difficult to say exactly but in my mind when I look at the facts we’re doing more good than harm.....

[@marianthipapastergiadis7744]

Like I said, just amazing! Thank you so much for the informed, honest answer. By far one of my favourite KZbin channels. We definitely need such smart, knowledgeable people like you Ed! The work you’re doing is so important and beyond amazing!

Did you dredge the muck off the bottom before adding all the other elements? I imagine 60 years of goo would have been substantial.

[@tedmccannon1166]

We removed the organize material on the shelf around the edge from the past 60 years before starting the build.
