Re: NFC: pool into pond?
My uncle-in-law in Miami did that with his swimming pool. He actually just
emptied it, refilled it with clean water, turned off all his pumps, threw in
a ton of water lilly & other plants. He actually raises non-native fish for
eating :) maybe I'll get him converted one of these days. He feeds at the
same time every day and when he wants a couple for dinner he just holds the
net under 'em while he feeds. Seems to work great. Apparently he's had
this thing going for at least 10 years.
You have no idea how jealous us folks in the cold plains are of how easy you
folks in the warmer regions do things like this! :) (we're in the midst of
a blizzard right now. People in Denver turn off their brains when it snows
for some reason, though this time they had reason. Even the airport...and
the roads into the airport are closed. So much for my daffodils!)
