- Here's my 0.55 acre pond we fish, swim and play in. Natural pools are a up an coming thing and this isn't quite that but we do treat it and keep it looking nice so we can enjoy it all summer. We use LakeProInc.com to treat it every month in the spring/summer to keep algae, aquatic plants and other non-desired growth down. Treating the pond does not kill off the fish or other aquatic life (frogs, turtles, etc).
If you want to just dye your pond yourself I have also used this product, one bottle treats my entire 0.55acre pond! amzn.to/3y1jIQr

Absolutely stunning... The proportions of your pond is spot on... you truly have a piece of paradise tucked away in your backyard. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Dotty Girl!
Beautiful land man! All that stuff you said at the end of the video sounds so much fun.
Thank Alec!
Appreciate all of your content, especially also living rural in SE Michigan. This is our first year having a pond so this one was really helpful.
Also, GO BLUE 〽️ (UMSI)
Awesome video Nate!
You feeding the fish was fun to watch
Thank you for the info. I loved this!
you're welcome!
Thanks for the information and video!👍
You bet!
Beautiful pond!
Thanks!
Very interesting!
really like the picture in picture views in your videos
Woohoo, glad someone likes them! Haha, they are a pain to time sync. Many editing tools have autosync but its based off audio...drone has no audio.
Bros swimming in Kool Aid!
Awesome and you’re in se mi (I’m just west of port Huron). Trying to learn how to treat my pond as we’ve been here five years and it’s always disgusting. It dried out completely for the first time ever so I’m in the process of digging it out deeper. Its a large pond but the deepest spot is only two or three feet. I’d like it to be five or six feet in the middle and would like to be able to swim in it.
Stunning ❤️🥰 if you don't mind me asking,how much roughly is it to treat? Thanks 🌊
A little over $200 each time which I do 5x/yr
Beautiful! How deep is it?
Another great video! You don't have to go to the water park and fight the crowds. Do you ever see snakes while swimming? That is the thing I would be afraid of.
Havent seen a snake in there yet. Herons, ducks, fish, turtles, muskrat, geese,frogs, etc have been seen.
✊
Do you also treat the water for parasites and bacteria? Or is it uncommon for ponds to have that.
I dont treat for that. Always a risk I suppose but i dont see it different then swiming in the local lakes.
How do you watch out for snake?
snakes are not much of a problem here in Michigan
LoL it's beautiful but it may be just a lil too much dye.
Why not just get an Aerator running getting more oxygen. In there certainly helps.
Windmill or Solar. Or electric ⚡️
Aerator helps some with algae but not many other shallow water growth. Also doesnt do anything for color. And its another thing to break.
@@NaterTater well how much are you spending though having them treat your pond every month or so with chemicals etc.
I recently used “True Blue” which I will continue to use, I also used Koenders pond care for a while. But now I use Polar Blend and these Muck Pellets. I find it works well. But I’m up in Canada. Cold water I have an artesian well that over flows into the pond and stock it with Trout. I had a huge fish kill this year. Not sure what happen. I suspect something got into the pond by rain or Bird “Blue Herron”. Or some one dumbed a chemical in. I’ve had trout in my pond for over five years with out any major fish loss. So it was a weird year. We did have heat wave but my aerator was running 24/7. Couldn’t get anyone out here with all the lockdowns. It seems to have recovered.
Your fish kill experience is one reason I hire it out. They can monitor and treat appropriately as well as tell you why you had a bad year. You can certainly save money treating it yourself but an aerator is not a replacement for treatment, its a supplement if needed.
@@NaterTater where I live I don’t know anyone that even offers that service. I couldn’t even pay someone to come out. I’m in Ontario. But way outside the GTA. So it’s not an option.
Does this keep snakes out water?
no
How big is the pond? How many acres?
0.55
Great video, thanks! We own land with a pond, and used Google maps to get the general dimensions to calculate the area. Are you sure this is only .55? Visually it looks at least as large or larger than ours.
@@stevehoward210 yes. Wide angle lens probably tricks your 👀
How is your water so blue?
It's dyed
@@NaterTater ohh interesting

Can't hear the video... Very nice... How deep?
Sound works on the video, maybe it was muted or your speakers were off? Pond gets to about 20ft deep.
@@NaterTater yep you were right it was getting late I guess okay again nice job working on mine
Is that kid really wearing a mask? LOL
Beautiful pond. Nice drone footage.
But there's not one shred of "How to" in this video...unless you count, "Hire some pond experts" as the how-to.
Channel blocked.
Hahahaha this isnt a how to video... That might be why
Why is he wearing a mask? Are the chemicals that he puts in the pond such that he needs to protect with a mask? Makes me question the safety of the chemicals?? Blue dye? Has it ever discolored skin or swimsuits?
This was during the joys of peak COVID and it appears it was company policy (I'll refrain from sharing my thoughts there). However I'd say most chemical when in the concentrated form are typically "hazardous" to some degree before diluting or completing the breakdown process that occurs after application. For example its typically a 24hr no swim guideline after application. The blue dye will stain like nobody's business in the concentrated form but once applied to water it does not stain at all.
Really, you put chemicals and dye in the pond to make it safe ? No thanks mate I will swim in a pond with no chemicals and a bit of algae in it. I certainly wouldn't eat them fish.
Yes
