Pond Chat / Zone2 Ponding
« on: February 20, 2009, 09:38:44 AM »
Hi All, I am new here and just wondering if anyone else out there ponds in a zone 2? I have been successfully doing it for 3 years now. Winter is a real challenge but I have never lost a fish (knocking on wood). I have 7 koi and about 30 goldfish. My biggest koi is almost 3 years old and 24" and 8 lbs. The pond is open from May to October. I usually stop feeding mid october and don't resume until may. My only thought about how my fish get so big so fast is the 21 hours of daylight I have in the summer months. As of this morning, the ice on the pond is currently 18" thick still :'(
