Used Backhoe

Posts Tagged ‘pond’

My boss has a small pond (1/2 acre) that has cattails growing around edge.At first they made good cover and kept the sides from eroding but now they are out of control.They are so thick you can’t even get near the water and enjoy the pond.There are fish in the pond.Are there any pesticides that are safe to use.We have dug them out with a backhoe and they come right back.Also I have heard if you place a bale of Barley Hay in the water source of a pond there will not be any moss on top of water.

I have a small utility tractor with front loader and backhoe. I used to do a lot of landscaping, but business is way off.
I want to dig fish ponds as part of my services. I need info about supplies and equipment needed after the hole is dug.
Are the things requiring an electrician or plumber? How about the expertise to get the livestock in?
Can anyone suggest a good book or two? Thanks.
In the winter, I do snow removal, but want to take care of indoor fish as well, as I always find myself doing some lousy job between November and March.
