Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations New pond owner

backabit,
You didn't mention the size of your pond but if you have the energy removing as many of the floating leaves as you can will help your pond. Leaves in too great a quantity are never a good thing. If the pond does not flush very frequently they can do great harm. Aeration & liming will counter the leaves. Liming will counter the acidity though you need to test the water to see how much lime & aeration will help decompose the leaves though it has been debated on this forum how much benifit you will get from a windmill.
As a note it is very helpful when posting questions to give as much info on your pond's charateristics as it will generate more specific responses.
