Easy trick that may help someone

[Marshall]

If you buy river rock or gravel to add to your pond you will probably need to wash it. My way is to get a mesh laundry bag and put the rocks in it then dunk it in a tub of water several times to wash and you can then use the mesh as a easy way to put them into the pond also. If anyone has their own tricks please share

This may sound crazy, but I would rather put the river rock directly into my pond on the chance that it has some insect eggs on it that could add more diversity to my pond.
