This bullfrog doesn't seem to mind living in scum. But we sure do mind having algae take over our nature pond. Lucky for us, Crawford Soil and Water Conservation District sponsored a pond fish drop off, so we ordered scum eating fish to help take care of the problem.
Today is the first part of our adventure in stocking a pond with useful fish. :)
Marcheta *gone fishin'
Pick up day was May 16th. It was a BYOB (bring your own bucket) type of deal, so before heading to Bucyrus, we had some prep work to do.
The buckets had to be lined with plastic bags. You'll find out why later.
It was also a BYOPW (bring your own pond water) deal. After lining the buckets with kitchen trash bags, Jim loaded them on the scoop of the Kubota and headed to the pond to add water. He chose the tractor because we are still working on this pond and the ground around it was too muddy for the truck.
The last prep step was to take the four water-filled buckets back to the truck, load up, and head out.
