It's a little early, I know, but with the neighbor's dog constantly jumping into the pond I thought it might be a good idea to do the big one anyway. It really doesn't take long if you don't mind getting a little wet.
The first thing you have to do is remove all the floaters. I started with five; three in the big pond and two in the small pond. I had over 1,100 in the big pond when I cleaned them out. Floaters don't winter over and will die and decay if not removed. Do not throw them in the lake! use them for fertilizer for your gardens.
The next step is to trim all your pond plants.
Once the plants are taken care of, just cover with a pond or tree net and you are good to go until next year.
