thanks guys. im glad i asked that question because i was a little worried about the disease thing. i live in perry county and i know there have been a decline in fish numbers in our creeks for what ever reasons. disease may be one so why chance it.
i have access to some pallets. how ofter does a guy have to add more? as they rot will i have to put more back in?
If the creek, or any flowing ditches are real close to your pond, your pond fish will probably be exposed pretty quickly to any indigenous disease. Birds, turtles, mink, otter, and any other fish eating critter will eventually spread it. If there are no nearby creeks, your fish may go years without being exposed, maybe not in your lifetime.
Pallets last many years. Mine are around 5, and still look the same.
