That’s good. Why not have a go at the Big Pond Dip 2010 when we re-launch it later in the spring?

It’ll give you a good idea of the state of your pond.

you suggested I empty the pond and start again….this seemed a bit daunting so I decided to just wait and see, the smell started to go as soon as the cold weather came and now is gone completely. The water is clear now and being colonised by various buggy things I don’t know the name of, plus today I saw a frog and a pond snail.

I’ve never bothered with it before in 25 years of wildlife pondkeeping.

Have you got any pictures of the pond – this helps when you’re trying to diagnose problems.

If you can send me something at jbiggs@pondconservation.org.uk I’ll see what suggestions I can make.

my new pond smells of sour milk!
It was made for me about 2 months ago.
it’s filled with rain water. it is 2′ deep at the centre and about 2×1.5m surface- it has a logpile next to it. It has lots of wiggly things- some kind of larvae I guess- water now looks quite black- I added some snails and weed from a local pond 2 wks ago.

I don’t know what’s causing the water to go cloudy and milky but these sorts of problems are usually down to water quality – usually an excess of nutrients.

If you have any pictures of the pond (send them to jbiggs@pondconservation.org.uk) I might be able to make some better suggestions.

I have a small pond and I have had my first problem this year. The water is cloudy & milky. I read about idea ti take the water lily out. I have a small lily in the pond. I was wondering If I should try that? I don’t really go in for chemicals.
