This morning

Post by ian m »

Well been out to feed the mutts the last two mornings and the pond is looking like a sauna. Pond at 18.5 degrees and the steam is rising everywhere. Outside temp in the single figures. Going to leave the covers off until the middle of October and then cover up for the winter. Did I miss that long hot summer we were supposed to be getting?????

Hi Ian,

It seems like most of the heat your pond is currently getting during the day is escaping overnight. Have you ever thought of getting something such as a swimming pool cover that you can roll out over the pond in the evening and roll back the following morning,

Colin,

I've got an aquosis cover but I've just been hanging off from putting it on, think I'm going to have to though, these summers are just not long enough.
