Maintain Pond Ecosystem Holistically

so it's just that simple if you've got a pond that's covered in lilies or you have a grass problem in your pond and you want to get it under control and you don't want to use chemicals and poison your pond then this is a way to do it now there are several chemicals out there that you can put in that will block sunlight through the water but that just basically is very non selective in other words that's going to kill everything and we don't want to kill everything we want to keep our little ecosystem we've got fish habitat all through here we've got bass habitat we've got bluegill brim perch catfish all sorts of fish in our little farm pond here and this is one way to maintain your farm pond without putting any chemicals in now I've got another bag of fish right in here and we're going to go right across the way to our other new pond all right we're over here to the other pond I might as well talk to you and show you this - we're gonna start introducing our fish what you need to know the reason the grass carp are so big when you get them there again six or seven or even eight maybe 10 inches the reason they're so big is because predators predation okay so predator fish will gobble them up now we know this pond only has catfish in it and those catfish are pretty small but for predation purposes these fish are expensive so the 10 fish that I bought cost around 155 to 160 bucks they're somewhere around fifteen dollars a piece so they're expensive and they're worth their weight in gold because once again they're gonna eliminate that from your pond that's what this is all about holistic pond management doing things right awesome they swam right on I hope to see you again here on the Stoney Ridge farm Channel please jump in pound that like button subscribe to the channel I'd love to have you back and I thank you a whole lot for listening and hopefully you learned a little something today alright and again these are from Arkansas pond stalkers I'll post a link to their website and their phone number down below I'm not in Arkansas they travel all over the country and they go to different farm stores like tractor supply our local Y&W farm supplies where I pick these up and they basically travel the country and sell fish for your fish pot there some and they'll give you a lot of info if you need it thanks a lot guys we'll see you next time on Stoney Ridge farm right [Music] Pierce we had some ways to bestow Tyrion Oh
