Pond on the plot. Pond at the dacha. Reservoir on the plot. Pond without film
In this episode of the "Fisherman's Life" channel, we'll take a detailed look at one of the most important aspects of pond maintenance: proper fish feeding. You'll learn the best feeding methods, how to prepare an effective grain mix yourself, and how to build a homemade feeder that helps control the appetite of pond inhabitants. We'll also discuss the specifics of unlined groundwater ponds: how water levels fluctuate in summer and why this isn't harmful to fish. Enjoy!
