Pond plants

Plants - the best helpers there are

Pond plants not only look beautiful, they also help your pond to work biologically and ensure good water values. Even if a lot of fish just eat them, you ought to keep plants in your pond.

If you can keep plants in your pond, whether it’s in the water, under water or in the marsh area, do! Plants help you to keep the water clear and to control algae. Plants need nitrogens (ammonium & nitrate) and phosphates (PO4) and absorb these substances from the pond water. Algae are also plants and require the same nutrition. But once your plants start growing strong, the algae begin to starve and can’t grow properly! Algae control can be so easy!

Plant killers: your fish!

The only problem is your fish’s healthy appetite for greens. If you just insert a few underwater plants, you’ll only have a short time to enjoy (and derive benefit from) them. The goldfish and koi will find and destroy them completely. Larger numbers of plants mean a better chance of the plants growing quicker than they can be eaten. The plants in the marsh zone will have a significantly better chance to survive. Although they are in the water, they’ll grow above the water surface. The fish would need to jump off the water to reach them! All that matters here is that the plant roots are in pond water so that they can access its nutrients.

Dead plants = nutrition for algae

You need to remove dying plants, such as water lilies in autumn, from the pond immediately. Otherwise the nutrients, absorbed during the growth process, will return to the water to fertilise the algae.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
