  Thank you for sharing your process in creating a barrel pond. What did you end up doing to winterize it?

• 
  @davidianoliverАй бұрын

  You need to make sure any ice that forms doesn’t get too thick. Where I live it rarely gets cold enough for long enough to cause a problem. I occasionally have to break the ice in winter and once or twice I’ve put an insulating blanket over the pond at night as a precaution

  A couple inch’s of pea gravel for the fish to feed on invertebrates at bottom with bricks on top under plant post. Only use aquatic plant soil or the water will turn green with any other soil.

  Well done making your own nuc boxes. The amount of space a trekking colonies looks for / prefers is 30 cubic centimeters which is about 5 brood frames... Larger than this and the colonies are likely to not move in due to the space being too large to begin with. Lemongrass oil is very strong. More than 2 drops will likely expel the new trekking colony even though it attracts them in the first place as it is overpowering.

  Thanks for this! Used MKS Sylvan Road pedals extensively from the early 80s to the late 90s, rebuilt them many times (of course), but am at it again all these years later and needed this refresher. Your video was exactly what I needed. (Also: how many products in our world go back fifty years essentially unchanged? For 35$ American, those Sylvan Roads are truly a worthwhile investment. Still work as great as always, too.)

  Like to know how your barrel is coping re shrinkage and returning back to original size. By lining my barrel it allowed mine to shrink and eventually loosen from the metal rings which then fell to the ground. The barrel eventually fell apart leaving the liner full of plants etc. Unlined new barrel … and the water alone keeps the barrel sealed and correct plants keep water both cool and free from stagnating. Hope you’re having better luck than my first barrel. As an aside the whiskey/funky smell disappeared after a couple of days with plants in, though fish were not living in mine only plants for wildlife.

  I have two of these. One is a plastic faux barrel the other is a wine barrel that I bought a liner for. The frustrating part is they are in general, too deep. The plants are often marginal and don't enjoy being more than 10 or so centimetres below the water line. I found myself messing around with 'platforms' etc to raise the level of the plants. They were always falling over etc. So now I have floating pots instead. Thanks for sharing.

  Hi there, thanks for the info (looking at whether to purchase a MKS NEXT because it has three bearings and spins better). Re: magnet for ball bearings, it's really useful and I'd rather bear the risk of magnetising them than the risk of having lost the little pricks because they LOVE jumping about freely. And then your bloody pedal's shot... I do think you are putting way too much grease. I advocate coating with grease liberally too - the spindle is optional, the threads are essential, the cup and cone housing of the bearings is absolutely essential, the dust cap is nice to have some. I sure hope you greased the spindle thread before attaching the pedal to the crank... That being said, the excess grease does absolutely nothing whatsoever, AND the excess just oozes out and leaves you with even more mess to clean off the pedals so just enough to seat the bearings in the cup and just enough on the threads is the way to go. I'd use marine grease because pedals are near the the ground and are a prime area for contact with water and dirt.
