I melted some parrafin wax and lined my barrel then I bought some
small river stones and put them in the bottom then bought a root to
grow some water lilies and they grew like mad. I then went to Walmart
and just picked out some small 95 cent goldfish, one was half black
half orange. That little guy grew and lived for over a year in that
barrel until a friggin seagull swooped in for the kill. I was so
upset! He had outlived all the other fish I tried out in there.

Anyway, got two more fish like him, they are doing great, never have
to feed them, and the barrel pond is doing great.

New here and just wanted to post that in case anyone is interested in
how I made it because all of my neighbors and friends ask me how I did
it.

Take care, Sandy
