"Good advice John.
One way to remove them (as advised by my partner) is to put a drop or 2 of tea tree oil on them. Tea tree oil is also great as an anti-septic, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and basically kills ticks/flees etc., on humans…"

Refilled with rain water. And sludge is now on a bed around my apple trees and in the nettle bed.
Buying plants next week to go in the pond."
Keith Wheatley replied to Protean Print's discussion Pond related question"Paul,
You can fill a pond from the mains although if you are putting fish in it you need to wait for a week to let the added chlorine dissipate from the water. I have put the waste on flower beds without ill effect. As it has fish poop in it it must…"

john jones replied to Protean Print's discussion Pond related question"I'd put the sludge on a border or in the compost heap. Anything that colour must be fertile. If you've got rain water then great, if you haven't don't worry about it. I would put some plants in, even if it's small. Caltha…"

"If there are no plants or fish in it, then it doesn't matter a hoot what water you refill it with!"
steve loftus replied to Protean Print's discussion Pond related question"not being an expert,the fact there is no pump or flowing water to oxygenate the water or oxygenating plants it will soon become, what i like to call a stagnant puddle,the sludge is probably rotten leaves,algae,grass clippings etc."

Pond related question
Hi allI have just cleaned out the pond in my garden, it is only a wee little thing, no pump, no fish (a few toads/frogs on occasion) and no plants except the few growing round the edges. It has been left by various tenants (including me) for several years. I decided it was time to clean it out as it was very murky and the bottom was covered in around 4 inches of sludge.What can I do with the sludge? Is it any good as fertiliser? I prefer to recycle/reuse where possible.Should I refill with…See More

"Google drive - you can make separate folders and allow access to each folder as you need. Dropbox is ok but it's more about file sharing (legit)

pete said… Thanks for your comment on my allotment piece Paul – good to hear you wanting to be organic (hate that word) it's a conscience thing with me... I trust you have or are getting on top of the couch grass – we managed it with some patience and then regular vigilance – we still get odd bits of bindweed that I lift carefully to hopefully get the whole root. At nearly all our jobs we have to cope with gardens created by builders – so we love our allotment.. and the asparagus is just popping up:-)
