You have spent all spring and summer working on your water garden, creating the environment that is both beautiful and functional for the plants and the fish. Caring for your pond before the winter months come into season will be important so that your plants, the fish and the pond itself make it through the winter with out problems or damages.
If you have container plants in or around the water garden, you need to think about the containers that you are growing in. Are the containers the type that can sit out in the weather – freezing and contracting with out the possibility of breaking? If the containers are made out of ceramic or other glass type material, you might find that in the spring your containers could split or cracked and almost useless if you are not careful. Using containers that are made of wood, Styrofoam or other materials like plastic that have a bit of bend in the material that the container is made out of will ensure that you are protecting your plants and your investment through out the year.
