    Cheap plastic pool / sand pit as a pond

    All jokes aside, I saw that on Facebook the other day. It's awesome, as is the story behind it.

    Asian Skunk Cabbage not thriving

    @buddleia64 Humus rich soil means soil with a lot of organic matter in it; so a lot of leaf mould or home made compost.

    Legionella bacteria

    I'm sure if it was a likely problem councils would be concreteing over every water feature that they can find. Had a pond and water butts for many years and I'm still alive, but only just.

    Diluting fertiliser to use in a pond.

    The pond is 40cm x 27.7 cm. Taking it as a cylinder that is 22 litres so allowing for the slight taper I settled on 20 litres approx.

    Pond is very silty after fish introduced.

    When I had my pond I'd Hoover the bottom with an old wet & dry vacuum cleaner 2 or 3 times a year.
