DIY Garden Pond Update | The FREEZE | Part 7

This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Growing Answers”. 

In this video I monitor the effectiveness of using an aerator to prevent the surface from completely icing over. I also check on the fish and sample the water temperatures. At the end I measure the ice thickness and it was surprisingly thinner than expected. This was all during what is usually the coldest time of the year for this region. In this region we typically never have temperatures that stay below freezing consistently for the whole of the winter. There is always freezes and thaws through the season.
