I have heard of pedal cycles, womens cycles.... but please could someone outline the basics of the the pond cycle?
I initially got the 'pond bug', because I love frogs and wanted to attract them to the garden so dug a small pond for wild life and plants only.
Hubby loved it but wanted fish, so we dug another slightly bigger but baby in comparison to most on here, filled it and on advice (we now know bad) put 6 gold fish in a week later. Then because the fish were ok, we put in more which didnt go well. (again, thanks to here we now know we should not have done that)
Anyway, I appreciate that climate probably makes a difference but I really would like to learn in simplistic terms what is meant by the pond cycle?
