Water Gardening

Looks nice. What filtration are you using?

Hello friend,I built this 22 feet x 5 ft wide garden bridge.Arched design.Detailes DIY instructions ---> My Pond BridgeComments?

I think normal soil will turn the water green. I d use aquatic compost if possible to lessen the nitrates in the water. Might be better to part fill with stones /stone and as little soil/compost as possible.

@nFrost water lilies need sunshine, that is when they open their gorgeous blooms. Well, the ones I had in my pond at the last house did anyway. As soon as the sun passed they would close up again. Is the set up going to be in shade all day long or will it get sunshine for a generous part of...

I made a small container pond in a child's bath, which isn't very deep and put in a Scirpus Cernuus (known as the 'fibre optic plant') as an oxygenator. Even thought it's very often sold for aquariums, it's hardy to -10ºC and can be either partly or fully sumerged. The birds happily use the...

Good afternoon @Rustler my friend and thank you, I shall borrow Mrs Woos hair net

Brilliant, thank you! I have dug out my other liner and a little waterfall that I'd completely forgotten I had so now I have all the ponds together and I am planning the layout

See this picture for the look realistic:----> My Pond

Thank you!

So I bought myself a small plant of this in the spring. Been growing it in a pot next to my pond.Anyone else have one? Are they as hardy as the standard forms?

Wonder if you can eat it?

The feature shown in my avatar photo is 300mm wide and has a 7800 litre/hour pump. There is a regulator (just a plastic tap really) in the hose from the pump. With this I turn the flow rate down to get the cascade running just right.

My last pond was 15ft x 15ft and 5ft deep ... it was in 4 inch , 2 inch and 1.5 inch pressure pipe .2 x bottom drains both aerated .. it had 2 sieves a nexus 210 and ultra bead ub60 bead filter . 2 x sequence 18000 external pumps and 55w uv along with 2 air pumps ... I dug the whole and built...

I will have a search, or is there a connector that goes from bottom of square white downpipe that converts so an irrigation hose length can attach?

Just a update. The 2 lilies (one white one Yellow) have mostly covered the pond. The barley straw I placed earlier has had plenty of time to work, it is still in there. Lots of creatures may have helped by eating the BWeed. Between everything the pond is very clear water wise with no sign of the...

Good afternoon @goosegog5555 and thank you for your kind comments

Quit making me jealous! @ARMANDII

Try a ladder made out of plastic coated clematis wire. You'd have to anchor it at the top somehow - maybe with a rock/paving stone.

Glad you didn't fall in there, woo! Thank you very much for wading in and getting that measurement for me. ( so, an iris which could be grown in a bucket then!)

I'll ask @Zigs if he can delete it
