The duck pond is long overdue for a proper clean. For weeks every time I flush the pump and filter out it runs for a few days then clogs up again so I’ve been guessing that’s a sign the sludge has built up too much in the bottom of the pond. So, I accepted my fate and dug out the dirty water pump.
I managed to find places to store most of the water for later use on the garden (or perhaps in the frog pond). And sure enough there was considerable sludginess at the bottom. A few pics and videos below.
Also reconfigured the fence line between the duck/chook and dog access areas to allow a larger area just outside the back door where I plan to put in a smaller (inflatable) pool this year.
