For as long as i can remember there have been shisters hawking watergarden ponds for koi. Over the decades, I have tried to help literally hundreds of unhappy koi owners who were hoodwinked because they trusted and didn't know.....reason why clubs have to get the word out...maybe we should have a booth at the home and garden shows.

Had a nice chat with a lady from the bonsai garden at Weyerhauser this afternoon that had koi. 3 in a 1,500 gallon pond. Was green and needed filtration....so you never know when you get a chance to educate. While i was at the gift shop buying a bonsai magazine, I ran into her. Was wearing a koi sweatshirt that started the conversation...

I think having the KB board helps as folks often look to the web to get educated on a miriad of subjects....
