Hi Carol, and thank you. I hope all's well with you and yours. Springs just around the corner, everything is coming into bud now so 🤞🤞👍you take care and stay warm, Terry
Hi John, and thanks mate. I hope all's well with you and yours. I know springs not quite here yet, but I seem to be finding plenty to do at the moment 😄😄Here's hoping we all have a great season 👍👍and plenty of sun. You take care mate, Terry.
Hello Terry, great to see you starting to get ready for the new season and good to see everything working (despite the suicidal frog)👍. Looking forward to seeing the covers come off👍. Best wishes for the season ahead👍🈲🐟😊
Hi Phil, and thanks mate. Bring on the new season, I'm gaggin for it lol. Lets hope we all have a good one 👍👍👍 coming cold again tomorrow they say😒🤥thanks again mate, take care, Terry.
Always enjoy your vids! A surprise for me one season was to find offspring of the spring spawn living in my backwash holding tank. Dunno how they got on without light, food and water flow, but they did! To reward their journey, they were moved back to where they came from, my pond. Pond work for me is always an enjoyment as it keeps a pattern of planning, hope, patience and surprise.
Hi Zeke, thank you mate, very much appreciated. Good to hear you enjoy the videos👍👍it's good to hear from someone so passionate about the hobby. Have a great season mate, Terry.
I bet that frog thought he was onto a winner, tucked up nice n warm for the winter, just stay out of the bottom drain. oh well that'll teach him to freeload lol nice one Terry.
Hello mate, hope you and your family are all well 👍👍it's a good job I found the kamikaze frog, or that could have caused a lot of problems 😯🤔🤪Can't wait for the season to get underway now and get these covers off. Thanks, and you take care mate, Terry.
Hi Terry, wish it was spring mate, put a video up a couple of weeks ago, declaring spring had arrived in my garden, thinking about putting another one out retracting that statement, because winter is back, bloody freezing with a constant northeasterly wind!!! I used to fall into that trap, thinking new year, spring on the way, but have now revised my thinking, I now wait for six nations rugby, USA open golf in Augusta, grand national, boat race, maybe even snooker world championship, then I allow myself to think spring is here!!! 😁. Jobs to do, maybe upping my pump to 30000. Have a great season Terry.
Hi mate, and thank you. I'm with you on that one, bring on spring. Trouble is, they're saying it's coming even colder next week, with a northerly wind 😲😲😨😭 I keep doing a bit of pottering around, but nothing serious. I hope all's well with you and yours mate 👍👍👍I don't watch much TV I must admit, due to the wife watching a load of rubbish most of the time 😅😅😅but it does keep her quiet 🤣🤣hope you have a fantastic season mate, you take care, Terry.
Your garden looks incredibly manicured Terry even though spring has still not hit us. In contrast, my garden looks like a 'dogs dinner'. Anyway, as always your video keeps all Koi keepers enthusiastic. Double thumbs up pal!!👍👍
Hi Alex, I hope all's well with you mate. Must admit, I did cut the lawn, but that's about it. Thank you for your kind comments, it really appreciated mate. Spring is just around the corner, and I've got some flowers coming out to prove it 😆😆not long now mate and well be ponding in full swing. Thanks again, you take care and stay safe, Terry.
Nice update Terry, glad all is well (apart from the frog). Roll on spring so I can get the few jobs done around the pond and of course enjoy the koi. 👍
Hi Bob, and thanks mate. I must admit the frog didn't fair too well, bless him. The 30,000 lph pump did not treat him well. Not long now mate, spring is on the way 👍👍 bit colder here at the moment, about 8c but dry. Take care, Terry.
Thanks Ade, always appreciated mate. You must be nearly finished now and ready for action. Here's to a great season and good weather, take care, Terry.
Hi Terry. Loved the format of spreading the videos over a long time period, fascinating as always. Sid looking awesome. Will popup in the near future mate, stay safe.
Hi Steve, and thank you mate. Hope your both well, and the pond and koi are all ok. Sid is putting some size on. We'll have to have a catch up, anytime is ok for me mate. Take care and stay warm, Terry.
Hi mate, and thank you. We did get a dusting of snow here, but nothing serious. We had a bit of sun this afternoon and it had soon gone. I'm with you mate, bring on spring. All the best with your venture, and I hope all goes well for you 👍👍 take care, Terry.
Hi terry… it’s funny that you would talk about pieces of frog being in your pond filter system… MY POND FITER BOX WAS SO FULL of lil green frog pieces that it took me a month to get things back to being right, this has never happened to me in the 5yrs that I’ve had this pond up & running??? I also agree with you ,the frogs were probably chewed up by the pump while they were in a hibernation state or cold & stiff 💁🏼,there’s a regular farm pond that’s about two properties over (400ft /500ft away) it’s about 10Xs bigger than my 3500 gallon decorative pond (they don’t do anything with there pond) & I know that’s were they came from…I even have 2 nets doubled together on top of my pond & chicken wire with bamboo slats around the pond yard to keep these lil green frogs out & they still some how seam to get in my pond…there a really big pain in the bum as we both know!!! Hopefully we can both keep on top or knock out this problem in the future if it happens again!? Stay safe … Hi to the wife!!! Regards Deb!
Hi Deb, good to hear from you. I hope all's well with you and your family. We have a land drain at the bottom of our garden, about 30ft from our fence which has a load of frogs in it,. The real problem is that, in the winter and the cold sets in, the fish in the rivers go to the bottom of the river and the herons cant feed, they come to the drain, to feed on the frogs. So, I not only get frogs, I also get the herons flying over. Good thing I cover my pond in the winter. A frog will find the smallest of holes to get through, and they can also squeeze through a net as they do on my pond, if they get into the garden. I have the problem all summer as well which is a bit frustrating 🤔🤔 the trouble with dead frogs in the pond is that it can cause bacterial problems as you'll know. Thanks for the comment Deb, you take care and stay safe, Terry. PS, the wife says Hi! 😉
Nice video Terry hope your all well? It was looking like spring the other day my pond was at 10c but the last few days it's gone cold it's dropped back down to 8c take care👌👍
Hi Matt, were all good here mate thank you. I hope all's well with you and yours. Thats the problem at the minute, the temperature is so up and down. Spring should be just around the corner, with a bit of luck 👍👍 You take care and stay warm mate, Terry.
Hi Terry, great to hear from you. Everything appears to be in order your way. I was quite impressed with your operating costs so far. With the high cost of energy at the moment I thought that figure was really good for that length of time👍. Looking forward to your updates this year as the warmer weather descends on us. Best Wishes Mate.
Hi Paul, and thank you, it's always appreciated mate. The heating is working out a lot cheaper than I was thinking it would be mate. We have had some mild days though, which helps. Can't wait to get these covers off, and get the season underway now. Here's hoping we all have a great season 👍👍Thanks again mate, take care, Terry.
Hi Dave, thanks, much appreciated mate. It's a good feeling knowing spring is on the way. I hope you have a great season mate 👍👍 and here's hoping for good weather, take care. Terry.
Hi Pete, and thanks mate. It's good to know that spring is just around the corner 👍👍 Lets all have a great season 👌👌thanks again and take care mate, Terry.
Hi Jamie, and thanks mate, always appreciated. I can't believe just how Sid has grown, last year he was a little tot against the rest, and now he's caught them up lol. Thanks again, and take care mate, Terry.
Thank you Keith, much appreciated mate. Frogs are a bit of a nightmare in my pond, as it's at ground level. All well here thank you. I hope all's we'll with you and your. thanks again, and take care, Terry
I’m not sure if the view of the inside of the IDF is some of the older footage or not. I’ve not finished the video yet, but at 8:57, there is another frog swimming towards the back and away from the camera. Just a Little guy.
Hi Pete, and thank you. I got the Babys Tears plants on eBay. Don't be fooled by the pictures mate, the plants are very small, but good. Here's the link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224886632779 You can see the size of the Babys Tears plugs were like in this video, th-cam.com/video/UPLgqFy8rwk/w-d-xo.html but I must say they do grow quick. I can't wait to see mine when the covers come off. Take care, Terry
Hi Terry great to see you back and cracking info as usual. I have a big blue for the pond top ups but I'm interested in the dechlorinator solution that you've made. How do you actually use the solution once made, add that to the pond and then top up with tap water, or is each volume of solution for a measured amount of tap water. Thanks and take care
Hi Andy, and thank you mate. My pond top up is on my pond return. So I usually drop it in with the new top up water as it goes back to the pond. It will all get mixed up as it goes through the pipes and into the pond. Those 3 canister dechlorinators don't remove all the chlorine, so this will help remove any that's left in the water. Thanks again mate, take care, Terry.
Hi Vince, thank you. Not been much happening here mate, to be honest. The sooner spring gets here the better 👍👍I hope all's well your end mate, take care, Terry.
Terry KOI do not freeze unless you put them in the freezer lol please do your research don't give out fake news. Oh, I forgot I kept KOI 20 years or so and never heated the pond, the truth is you should always give your KOI a real rest, they live longer.
I think most serous Koi keepers like Terry know that Ponds don’t really need heating the real reason they heat their ponds is because of the poor weather conditions in the UK, Koi don’t like unstable temperature changes that’s what can stress Koi/Fish out. so, if you have the budget why not heat your pond to take the everchanging temp fluctuation away.and from a hardware point (Filters & Pipes) you dont have pipes freezing and bursting over the winter months causing head aches in a season you cannot repair in.
That's your opinion Chris, and I have mine. But before you start accusing me of fake news, maybe you should do a little research mate. By the way, I'm 70 and had koi most of my life. Any thing below 4c and your koi are in survival mode. Here's a quote I've just found from a professional koi breeder. At 10c STOP feeding your fish, even if they are looking for food. The lowest temperature that your Koi can comfortably survive in is 4c. Any lower than this temperature and the weaker Koi may start to develop internal problems that they may never recover from. At 1c your fish will start to die.
Lol says you can’t buy a decent koi for 105 pounds, then looking at your koi you must have bought all of them for 105 cause they are nothing special really..
Great update Terry roll on spring 😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hi A&C, and thank you. I hope all's well with you and yours. I with you mate, bring on spring 👍👍👍thanks again, Terry.
Hi Terry great update soon be spring and we all can spend more time with our fish and gardens, 🙏🐟🐟🐟🐟🙏
Hi Carol, and thank you. I hope all's well with you and yours. Springs just around the corner, everything is coming into bud now so 🤞🤞👍you take care and stay warm, Terry
Good to see you back Terry, spring is well on it’s way and we will all be flat out again 😂 take care mate.
Hi John, and thanks mate. I hope all's well with you and yours. I know springs not quite here yet, but I seem to be finding plenty to do at the moment 😄😄Here's hoping we all have a great season 👍👍and plenty of sun. You take care mate, Terry.
You know the new koi season is nearly upon us when you get a Wrighty video

Truly a master at work, can you tell me where you got your baby tears from and how many did you buy for your bog filter, thanks pete
