So many of you ask questions about your pond or plants. Much of our advice will be affected by your zone or location in the world. We're not asking for your address. LOL. Of course the answer will vary from what we'd say for Florida to what I'd say for Michigan. There is no potential harm if you either list your state or zone on your profile. Then it will show up each time you post and we don't have to ask you each time you have a question. Just add the info to your profile and the answers you get will be more specific to your area. Note to the left of this complaint, under my picture----it says LOCATION: Grand Rapids, Michigan, zone 5 b. If you only want to state your state (haha) or zone, that's just fine. But I suspect the zone is more important seeing that zones are not state specific. We still like to get an idea of where you are located in the world so if you list both, that is probably best.
