I get a nasty string algae in my ponds that I just scoop out and throw on the garden. It's great stuff and often I'll just scoop out half the pond at a time, water lillies and all, and throw on the garden. Makes things grow like crazy. And it doesn't hurt the water lilly population at all, they multiply like mad.

But with the island I'm betting it's not the water itself but rather the bugs, etc. that are present because of the water being there. And possibly water plants as well, even if they're tiny.

If I am understanding this correctly..... here is the thing,.... she is having to move the birds because they are not thriving,,,So with that in mind... makes me question what's wrong with the other yards.

Not sure why you decided to pick my reply to dragonlady's thought to completely flip the question but yes, concentrating to what might be wrong with the rest of the place makes more sense than breaking out the science on the one spot they thrive. Compare the two and it might be obvious.

For all Orps. thus the title United Orpington Club. They can be production, imported or American standard. Bantam or LF
BTW we are sister clubs with the Austrailan Orp Club and English. It was felt we could learn from each other

Thanks! I didn't know if UNITED was a reference to the United Kingdom or if it was a reference to the unification of both. Once I get my SOP Orps underway, I'll definitely be looking the UOC up!

Tim, if you don't go to shows in your area, try going, there are great orpingtons in your area.
