How To Stop A Pond Freezing Over

Gardening : Gardens

If you have a pond in the garden, then you will know a small body of water is quite likely to freeze over when the weather gets cold.

This can be bad news if you have fish in the pond or anything else that might want to come to the surface, for instance to get food.

Of course, one way to treat ice is to use hot water to get a hole in the ice.

But prevention is better than cure. Stop your garden pond icing over by placing a tennis ball in it.
