Latest addition to the pond - 04/12/09 04:18 PM
one of the several high wind storms we had in the last few months half knocked over this 14" pine tree so I cut it down and after a few weeks got busy with the tractor, some chains and more hand/shovel work then I was prepared for, ended up with this beauty to add to the pond.
I have a few questions as to where to put this into my pond.
1st, I have CC and know that putting this in will ontribute to a spawning cavern for them, i am willing to accept that.
2nd, I was thinking of putting this in on its side so there is an umbrella effect vs the laying flat on the bottom effect, this is what I am curius about, the last thing is that my loader could hardly lift this and its rated at 1100 lbs so Ill have to drag it into the pond from he opposite side and that may be a problem in itself. I will probably wait until late July and put it in when the water is its lowest, then try to get the very top of it just under water so its eventually in about 4 ft of water at normal height.
Anyone else have any thoughts on how you would place this?? Id love to hear it, pond has BC, CC, BG, HBG and RES and a few YP and HSB, ( No LMB)
