Hi From the UK

Hi Just joined. I live on the south coast of England.

I have 1 eco pond approx 800gallons with some small tench, rudd and 2 crucian carp plus lots of wildlife. I don't have much of a garden so have this at my Allotment where i grow my veggies

I also have a patio feature (at home) i built from 2 Galvanised cattle troughs 100 gallon and 30 gallon containing overflowing gravel filter with Horsetail (bare root). the main trough has 5 shubunkins and a few small minnows.(I'm currently lining these troughs to prevent zinc toxicity)
