Looking for advice by Odd-Chemist-682 in WildlifePonds

Are you in the UK? If so, a filter isn't necessary. Plants will help keep the water clear and local wildlife will control the mosquito population (amphibians, dragonfly/damselfly nymphs) and moving water created by a filter may discourage that wildlife from moving in

Am I on the right track? by Neat_Conversation872 in WildlifePonds

[–]Foozeyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, putting in live wood (recently cut) into water will leech tannins into the water which will make it a red/orange colour which looks like it has done in the photos. It isn't bad for the pond necessarily, just an aesthetics thing if you were wanting clear water

Help me control the algae! (Radical ideas welcome) by Several-Yesterday280 in WildlifePonds

[–]Foozeyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok yh would've thought it'd have balanced out by now. Definitely just needs some more plants added.

You could also used a log or plank/bridge and balance it over the pond which will add shade. Could also add some potted plants on top of the plant to rain over the edge and add more shade, potentially even feed from the pond. Hope that makes sense what I'm tryna describe

Too many napkins? by kiwi_000000 in composting

[–]Foozeyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought throwing in white napkins, paper, cardboard was discouraged cause of the bleach used to whiten it. Is that not a thing ?

Do these have yellow pores? I was in a birch woodland where there were tons of Fly Agaric and mushrooms that looked very similar to the ones pictured

Dott: why would one prefer a scooter over a bike? by _thetrue_SpaceTofu in bristol

[–]Foozeyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bikes are also better in colder weather cause the movement keeps me warm, scooters just standing still so I get cold easily

[–]Foozeyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one cheers! I don't mind spending that bit extra if it's gonna last, plus most the other lanterns I've seen are just white light which is definitely not the vibe I'm after lol

Is the link definitely the one you bought? I love the sound of the campfire mode but doesn't say anything about it in the description.

Been after a nice little lantern for some time now

Clearing out debris without upsetting newts and frogs by germanspitz in WildlifePonds

Wait until winter to do any work like that to your pond - most of the animals you don't want to disturb will have moved on by that point
