Happy weekend!
I am going to be out of town at the end of the summer for 2.5 weeks, and was wondering what you all do with your ponds when you go out of town? In theory, benign neglect for that time shouldn’t be a big deal, but given how small my pond is, if there were a power outage, pump failure, or a clogged bog, it could cause significant problems left unattended for that long. Do you all have friends who can check in on your pond, or do you hire a pond company, or do you just try to teach a pet sitter the ins and outs (we have other pets, also)?
