Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3
I built 2, 000 gallon pond last year. andleft it half-finished. Today, we give the Epic pond a facelift and welcome 5 new koi to the pond family! Koi fish are the perfect addition a backyard garden pond. They provide nutrients to your pond plants and a peaceful presence to your garden. The first koi I ever added to the pond were two small koi from Petco, and I'm excited to bring you a killer deal on koi for your pond. Will: I love these pond updates. man. awesome. My wife and I dug up over 9 cubic yards of hard concrete like clay (at the surface, a foot down it turns into a super heavy, dense, chocolate cheese cake lol) by hand. Trust me though, it was 1000% worth it. It's like living in a resort and the life comes from far and wide to enjoy what you create.
Cheers!

general psa about petco's animals. just, be careful. I dont know a ton about the fish they carry, but from experience their reptiles and amphibians are 100% sourced from animal mills and are terribly abused. They dont even tell you what their care needs TRULY are.
Petco is generally fine for in store products, especially dogs and cats, but exotics and fish they make a lot of money on ensuring the animals you buy will die and you'll want to get it replaced. These creatures live a lot longer than advertised.

The pond area looks so nice and relaxing, ya'll are doing such a good job with the homestead! Ya'll should be so proud!
Also, have a question, could you do a video or a short about steralizing soil? I just heard about it, but I've never seen anyone do it!

If you look at the composition of the most sought after soil type sandy loam it is roughly seventy percent sand clay can be permanently modified with enough sand, maybe not on a large scale, but certainly in a flower or garden bed or two

I see Laura from Garden Answer use that little weed tool and I'm like wow that looks so easy! and my soil is exactly like yours in a lot of places haha. Thank you for saving me from spending the money on one!

Opening the bag they are shipped in instantly releases all the CO2 in the bag, causing the ammonia to spike and making the water toxic for the fish. You should always temperature acclimate with the bag closed.

Those ornamental grasses you have planted can get quite unruly and are invasive in various areas of California. They also self populate even in cultivated landscaping. Everything else looks great!

Tip for making hard soil easy to dig. Soak well, wait til the next day, dig. 10x easier. Don't dig too soon though because it will be too muddy and/or sticky and will compact too much when walked on.

Have you guys heard of gypsum? It works great for breaking up clay and makes water soak-in WAYYYYY Better its amazing for clay i would give it a try ifi were you. Just a tip

Just curious: have we heard from Bobca lately, or is she off on other stray cat pursuits?
ps The new landscaping looks great- just right to complete the pond.

Petco and PetSmart is the worst though. Majority of pet stores only care about profit and never the care of these animals. But especially these big chain ones.

2 guys that are close are my favorite thing on earth. Love you guys.
That soil was wild though! Idk if it really even qualifies as soil before you worked it.

Oooo! I've been wanting to have a pond! This looks great! I'll have to make sure my garden is well before I get anything else though. Looks great kevin!
reply

5 adult koi will be. interesting to see them attempting to move around together with the space given. the plants look good as usual though!

I just purchased the heirloom beet gourmet mix and the mild mix microgreens. I am very excited to see them grow. The packaging is beautiful
