Hello all,
I'm new here, but thought I'd share a few photos of my somewhat unusual garden pond.
There aren't fish in my pond, but there are ducks.
The duck pond with a few residents - it is THEIR pond - it was specifically built for them.
The overflow channel runs into the garden bed when I flush out the pond.. this waters and feeds the plants ... a duck pond has a high "nutrient" load
I put a small solar powered fountain in one corner to help circulate and aerate the water. I'm in the tropics, and it's a duck pond, so algae loves the rich pond water. Algae is also a good plant fertiliser, so it gets flushed out onto the bananas with the pond water (or as I like to call it - ducky water).
