| Article Title :: Pond Salt for Health Fish |
| |
|
The important question of whether or not to add salt to your
pond is often confusing for beginners and forgotten by
experienced pond-keepers. To newbies and pro's alike we have
this to say:
"Add Salt Today to Keep the Fish Doctor Away" True, there are
some negative effects of higher salt levels on plants in the
pond, but overall we think it is absolutely the very best thing
you can add to your pond in terms of keeping your fish happy and
healthy. Salt acts as a natural 'stress coat' and essentially
thickens the slime coat on the fish's body - which is it's own
natural defense system against bacteria and parasites. Salt is
also very effective in killing bacteria and parasites in the
pond. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Over-wintering pond fish |
| |
|
The metabolism of koi and goldfish is controlled primarily by
water temperature. As the water cools, pond fish require less
protein in their diet. When koi and goldfish are fed
high-protein food in cool water, the excess protein is excreted
as ammonia from the gills. The microscopic organisms that make
up the biological filter (and consume ammonia) also slow down in
cooler water. Improper seasonal feeding can lead to a build-up
of toxic ammonia, which stresses fish and reduces their winter
survivability. When the water temperature drops to approximately
65° F, start feeding with Spring & Autumn Pond Food. This type
of fish food is better suited for the dietary requirements of
pond fish in (read full article) |

| |
|
Caring for aquatic plants Long after the impatiens have been
pulled out, water gardeners are still hoping for that last lily
bloom. For some reason, we want to squeeze every leaf, bud and
blossom out of our aquatic plants before winter. Unfortunately,
cold weather often comes before we’ve trimmed the cattails or
pruned the lilies. Wait too long and all those beautiful leaves
will fall off and rot in the water. Trim bog and marsh plants
such as papyrus, taro and cattails, before frost hits. Pull out
the hardy water lilies and trim off all the leaves. Yes, even
that last bud! Put all the potted plants into the deepest area
of the pond to prevent freeze damage. Tropical lilies won’t
surviv (read full article) |

| Article Title :: TURN ANY HOBBY INTO A PART-TIME BUSINESS |
| |
|
If you are planning on beginning a business, your best bet is
to start out part-time while you are still earning a full-time
income at your present job.
If you are like most people who are existing from payday to
payday, you don't have a lot of money to invest in a full-time
business. No need to worry! Just use your favorite hobby as your
business base and grow from there!
There's no telling where you'll be at 2 or 3 years down the
road. Perhaps you can even tell your present boss to "take that
job and shove it." Wouldn't that be great?
Using your present hobby or favorite pastime as your business
base has many benefits. Why? Because ANY business you decide to
become involved in shoul (read full article) |

| |
|
It doesn’t matter what type or size doll you have, you can
easily design your own doll dresses following a few simple steps.
This article explains how to make a basic dress, that you can
then use as either a sundress, or that you can crochet dainty
ruffles on for a more elegant fashion.
First you will want to grab your doll, a crochet hook, some

| Article Title :: Why You Never Have To Pay Retail Prices For Anything - Ever
Again |
| |
|
I step into my local mall, and into a leading top brand clothes
store. I see a jumper I like and while feeling the soft material
casually lift up the price tag - and I almost feint with
disbelief. How much??? That's more than I make in 2 days! I
quickly stop caressing the fabric and head toward Big Als
Unbranded Clothes Discount Centre for a sweater within my budget
range (which unfortunately will no doubt look as if it were
knitted by my 5 year old Niece.)
Sounds familiar? Well it really need not be this way. It
actually amazes me how many people do not use wholesalers and
government auctions to save money on just about anything they
could ever wish to purchase. It's possible to get reg (read full article) |
