Excellent Overview of Pond Care July 22, 2008
This gem of a book contains all the information a new pond owner needs to maintain a healthy, happy water feature. It's very readable, well-organized, and succinct.
A New Zealnd Pond September 5, 2007
I used Interpet Products available from my local garden centre and I decided to check out some of the books advertised with their products and so ordered the "Your Healthy Garden Pond".
I have read this book and found it a very useful reference,easy to read and with good illustrations. I would recommend it to anyone with a small garden pond.
Must Read for a Healthy Pond August 12, 2007

This is a very good book for those who already have a pond. It does not get into the design and construction of ponds, but concentrates on maintaining the pond you have. This is exactly what I was looking for. I did not need to design or construct a pond; however, I did need the knowledge to maintain an existing pond, and this book fit the bill perfectly.
It covers:
*Water quality - the nitrogen cycle and what tests you need to perform
*Filtration - types of filters, filter media, cleaning filters
*Algae and plants - types of plants and how to grow them, how to contain algae
*Fish - the different types of fish suitable for a pond and how to diagnose problems
*Pond cleaning - when and how to clean the pond
*Seasonal maintenance. - fall and winter preparations
Also this book is illustrated with many full color pictures so you can see clearly what the author is talking about.
