Algae are probably the most hated plants, yet they are often lifesavers in the garden pond, because without them many fish and other creatures would perish miserably. As a recognised expert, the author provides a better understanding of the role of algae in different types of ponds. He shows the causes of excessive algae growth and explains how it can be prevented. This attractively illustrated guide finally provides a comprehensive and practical explanation of what really helps to combat green water, filamentous algae and stagnant algae.

Koi - Japanese colour carp
In addition to the fish with their highly interesting behaviour, koi also allow us to get to grips with the plant world in the garden. It is particularly attractive to experience the change of vegetation in the garden during the four seasons. Furthermore, the fish from eastern Asia reveal a foreign culture to us and make it accessible to us in a marvellous way.

Dähne - The garden pond manualWhether mini pond, foil pond, prefabricated pond, natural pond or koi pond - a beautiful and permanently functioning pond is easier to realise than many garden owners think. The prerequisite, however, is thorough planning right from the start. This is the only way to avoid costly and time-consuming conversion work later on. In this book, an experienced practitioner shows how this can be achieved: planning, choice of location, construction process and necessary technology are described step by step and, last but not least, explained from the point of view of cost savings. Many examples provide suggestions for design, border planting, decoration and lighting. A large chapter is dedicated to maintenance. With clear pictures, it provides information about the most important plants and their requirements as well as selected fish and small animals. In this way, the pond remains what it is without much work: the much-noticed decorative centrepiece of the garden.
