As a biologist I knew that there had to be a lot more to managing a pond than beats the eye, but I now see that this stuff can be taken as far as one wants to take it!
As an accountant I had no clue as to what it took to manage a pond. I figured you have a hole, it has some water in it, it has some fish swimming around, how can I make this tax deductible?
And then I find out I have to manage the damn thing?!?!
My pond's water level will be static as I've purchased a Grundfos pump and will be installing 1400 watts worth of solar panels to provide plenty of water (thank you NRCS!).
Oh great, now I hate you.
