@Hopeful34 Get really persistent about the longer antibiotic or a different one. If you aren't completely getting rid of it, you are going to keep making the one you have more antibiotic resistant. Bladder and kidney bacteria can become quite stubbornly nasty and you don't want to deal with that if it happens. Plus the antibiotics used for that can be nasty too.
The pond was only 1-3 feet deep when we filled it in when we first moved here. The slab we thought we would put a shed on is in the corner and used to have a shed with a prior owner.
So this is one of those island issues. we thought great, a nice big slab 10 by10 feet. It turns out no one has in stock or ships the larger sheds here, and if you use a ship service it’d cost a fortune. You could get handymen to build it, the estimate highly expensive again. Someone was building custom sized ones and delivering them, at a reasonable price but they stopped. So we decided to just keep using the 2 smaller sheds in the front that came with the house lol. Anyways that is why we now want to get rid of the slab. There is an aggregate company we have to call and see if they will take it. Unless we dig a big hole to put it in.
We don't have a ton of landscaping. A lot of people actually don't in our area, especially near your house. We have the largest variety of bug species (if I remember correctly) and plants next to the house aren't something you really want here. A lot of greenery promotes them so a majority of people keep plants down to more of a minimum here in their yard.
The pineapples are on the left. A dwarf lemon in the middle, ginger is behind it and a Plumeria in the middle on the hill.
It was a beautiful pond at one time. We saw pictures of it 15 years ago. It was sort of horseshoe shaped with a rock waterfall. But the water supply pipe was broken somewhere, the pump was broken, there was a ton of plants all in the middle overgrown into a huge mass of an unknown plant. Pure solid green water. All of that could have been fixed. But the biggest thing was it was a breeding ground for the poisonous cane toads to dogs that are on the island now. We caught over 60 in the first 3 days of being here in our back yard (and set them loose near a river). So we decided no pond would be best.
