While a small pond in the country can be easily drained, a large body of water cannot be dealt with so easily.
It is also unlikely that it will be possible to relocate most of the animals from a large body of water.
Therefore, it is better to prepare the pond for winter, otherwise living creatures may die.
We suggest paying attention to two methods that will help provide air to fish.
How to provide a pond with air in winter
You can install an air compressor, but this option costs money - it will consume electricity during operation.
But in this case, you can be calm about the condition of the reservoir’s inhabitants during the winter period.
The second method is to drill holes. This will allow maintaining air exchange in the pond for local inhabitants.
The holes can be drilled with a hatchet, crowbar or auger. This method is suitable for those who come to the dacha periodically.
Earlier we wrote about the best place to put a greenhouse.
