Instructions
Scoop the turtles out of the pond -- or pick them up -- depending on their size. Place them in a large bucket or baby pool.
Drain the pond and clean the sides by scrubbing them with a brush. Wipe the sides down.
Install large plants in the mud at the bottom of your pond. Go the the aquatic section of your local nursery and buy submerged plants, such as pond lillies and cattails.
Refill the pond with water and replace the turtles.
Add snails, minnows and tadpoles to the pond, to help to remove algae.
