Must Read for a Healthy Pond Aug 12, 2007
By Randolph Eck
This is a very good book for those who already have a pond. It does not get into the design and construction of ponds, but concentrates on maintaining the pond you have. This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not need to design or construct a pond; however, I did need the knowledge to maintain an existing pond, and this book fit the bill perfectly.
It covers:
* Water quality - the nitrogen cycle and what tests you need to perform
* Filtration - types of filters, filter media, cleaning filters
* Algae and plants - types of plants and how to grow them, how to contain algae
* Fish - the different types of fish suitable for a pond and how to diagnose problems
* Pond cleaning - when and how to clean the pond
* Seasonal maintenance. - fall and winter preparations
Also this book is illustrated with many full color pictures so you can see clearly what the author is talking about.

A New Zealnd Pond Sep 04, 2007
By JESmith
I used Interpet Products available from my local garden centre and I decided to check out some of the books advertised with their products and so ordered the "Your Healthy Garden Pond".
I have read this book and found it a very useful reference,easy to read and with good illustrations. I would recommend it to anyone with a small garden pond.
Excellent Comprehensive Reference Book Nov 04, 2011
By Brett H

We have recently installed a garden pond and coming off a position of nil knowledge, we needed a down to earth guide so that we could avoid the possibly fatal (to the fish!) pitfalls.
This is a short, concise, but very thorough guide which was able to answer the list of questions we had put together. The filtering system was a concern and there is a very extensive section on this including how to choose the right filter, when to run it and the care and maintenance of the system. Plants are another interesting topic which is well covered - I always fancied having snails in the pond as I know they eat algae. However, I quickly learned that this was a very bad idea as although they will eat algae they have a fondness for plants which is their preference!
What fish to buy, what sizes and how many is another topic which will exercise the minds of most pond keepers. Again the book was very clear with instructions that 24 inches of fish per square meter of surface area was about right, though you should allow for growth. Some fish are very compatible such as goldfish and koi. However, the catfish which my wife has been fancying proved to be another very bad idea as it appears they grow and grow and regard the other pond inhabitants as a tasty snack!
So to summarise, if you are interested in ponds, but have little knowledge this guide is going to teach you all the basics you will need. I imagine that even if your knowledge is already extensive you will still learn quite a lot here.
