With things starting to warm up now is a good time to remove your pond heaters and clean filters. Check your pumps are working and that your UV bulbs are OK. If you have a blown bulb your local aquatics centre, like St Bridget Nurseries on Sidmouth Road, Clyst St Mary, Exeter; will have lots of spares.
The rise in temperature will also cause weed to grow. Apply barley straw to stop algae and for blanketweed it's a simple net and bucket job, although there are several blanketweed liquid controls available on the market.
If you have pond plants, now is also a good time to divide marginal and bog plants before they come into growth.
