My pond is a hub of wild activity this winter as birds and animals have no place else to find a drink. The streams and creeks in my back yard area are frozen solid. The salt marsh is brackish water and of course the frozen bay is salt. I've seen how important a pond can be to the command to "dress it and keep it" in Genesis.
This year I bought a super duper pond heater that kept the pond ice free completely. No other one I've had worked this way. They just opened a small hole for gasses to pass through. But this one keeps the entire pond open.
I made my own filter which is a bog that filters the water keeping it crystal clear and clean. the bog aslo provides a place for birds and small animals to bathe and drink. Larger animals can drink from the sides. So this year I realized that going fully natural in the property is the only way to go. No more leaf raking... it provies a home for fireflies and other creatures to live. No more exotic plants just natuve plants that birds and animals can eat.
It is so easy to create a small water feature to help nature and costs very little to create and run.
