We will never meet or know one another, but I would just like to thank you for this channel and your content. There’s nothing on tv anymore that I want my 7 year old watching, but he certainly loves every episode of yours. We watch you religiously and look forward to each new episode. Thank you for all that you do. And in my humble opinion, all of the happiness that you bring to your extended 5 acre pond family must make it a complete success. 👍🏼

I have a much smaller pond. Had a hard time with it until I added and planted a one foot deep bog on one end and pumped water through it from the other end. It acts as a natural filter and I never had a problem again. After the second year I was able to turn the pump off. Now everything is done naturally. Waterfall at one end aerates it. Willow trees added shade that helps water cool down. Bats love willows and the bugs around them. They keep the mosquitoes down.

I've never caught a bass in my life, yet on Sundays I watch these videos. I appreciate the great entertaining you provided.

Most excellent episode. From aquarium to five acre pond, imposing an ecosystem is a science and an art. Love this saga.

How about building an aquatic green house to store your water Lilly’s in during the winter and you could fill it with bait fish and prawns and other fish. Basically a large brick built pond or ponds under glass where you can control the tempriture .
@WarpLoTFFA yesterday

it would be really cool to connect the new bigger pond to the 5 acre pond through a creek/channel-like waterway where the fish can travel from one pond to another

This channel is like my childhood dream come to life. Also what I find interesting is that the turtles seem to know when its feeding time.

I'm from the UK. I have never wanted to go to the USA. I've been watching this from the build video and all i want to do is visit it now. this is the type of USA i want to see now. Not the big cities but normal every day people and there way of life.

If you do build a new bigger pond use it to take the small bass out of the 5 acre pond. So when bass overpopulate the 5 acre pond when you take them out you have somewhere to put them.

Love that you keep planting new trees. Sucks they keep getting eat. But the fact your more than willing to replenish what you've taken away is beyond awesome

The depth of your pond might be one problem. The sun light can penetrate a few feet which can cause blooms and dead zones. This might sound little out there but floating gardens could supply food and shade. I live in empire and raise talipia. Every year i have babies select about 20 and bring them in for next years harvest since the water gets too cold for them. Pond management is easy for nature but hard for us to dial in.

A bullfrog hatchery would be pretty neat. The bass are getting big enough where they'd make good snacks

You need to put gizzard shad in your pond. They spawn more than threadfins. Also put goldfish in there. Nothing will be invasive in a pond full of giant bass.

For the small Oak trees, find some dead brush and place that closely around the Oak tree. The deer won't like walking through the brush to get to the tree. And by the time the tree is bigger and able to withstand deer browsing, the brush will have broken completely down.
