Thanks Jaelen; yes I love my pond in quite a worryingly obsessive way

So the general consensus seems to be:

1. Dont bother with a net
2. Fish out leaves that are carpeting the surface, but leave some to sink to the bottom to create cover for wildlife
3. Clean the sediment out every few years

Thanks so much for the input! That's a big help. Karen
