- What does it take to turn a neglected half acre backyard pond into an EPIC natural swimming pool?!
Follow along as I dive into the process it took to convert a pond that was covered in algae, and covered in muck...to a super clear, super fun recreation pond/natural swimming pool that has a sandy beach area, a dock to jump off of, and even two pond swings!
This video will cover things such as: Assessing the pond the first year, why an aerator is critical, pond dye, removing weeds, how to keep algae at bay, and cost.

You have created such a fun space for your family to enjoy!! Love it!!
Thanks!
So informative man. Pretty great. Pond party and BBQ at your house. Cheers man 🥂🍻
Thanks!
For natural cleaning and aerating use a few bales of 'oat straw' - works like magic and you'll never need anything else to keep a pond/small lake healthy. Check how it's done on the internet.
I'll check it out, thanks for the tip! 💪
Hey Mr. Michigan !! I'd like to make a reservation for the Hursty Summer Vacation / Farm Work Coop Rental !! Maybe spend some labor capital of working on the farm for some restful fun by the swimming pond for a few days !! What do you think ?? Looks nice.
Hey Jeremy appreciate it! Have a good one!
Where did you get your aerator?
Amazon. The one I'm using is a Vivosun air pump, since I'm solar I couldn't get a monster one without it creating too much draw during a cloudy day, if you have a dedicated electric line, go for the biggest air pump you can get.
@@hurstyoutdoorsthank you! No electric either.
How do you deal with any bacteria or parasites etc?
Hey thanks for watching! Can't stress enough the importance of an aerator that puts oxygen in the natural pool/swimming pond and moves the water on top to keep things from being stagnant. Just that alone will help keep the fish and biome happy and greatly reduce the chances of bacteria/parasites from taking over.
@@hurstyoutdoors thank you. My husband and I just bought a cattle farm and we are looking to create a pond/natural pool for the kids. So this was really interesting to watch!
