[GSAS-Member] pond discussions

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

Thanks for the pond discussions! I worked on my 2 larger stock tanks this
weekend. I wish my goldies would decide that Azolla tastes as good as
duckweed! I'm wondering if anyone has seen something that might work on a
stock pond edge to help grow marginals or bog plants? Hmmmmm....maybe
those plastic planters they make for deck railings??????? I really don't
want to fill up the edges with cement blocks to make staging zones for
pots.

Trish....your 4 goldies are doing great. They do seem to like flakes
better than floating pellets but are getting the hang of the things. They
are spending less time hanging out in the holes of the cement brick tower
I put in one end to stage some parrotfeather pots. Larry...thanks from
bring them up north for me! I know I wouldn't have made it down to
Enumclaw!

Raccoons & outdoor ponds - so far I've lucked out. All of my ponds are
above ground, which may help. Having lots of Siberian husky smell
(including one determined male who likes to mark the sides of stock ponds)
may help as well. I KNOW I've got raccoons around at the new place as the
neighbors have warned me. The chickens get locked in at night (weak grin).
