Hi Ingrid,
Very nice setup you have.
Are you pumping the water into that wooden
tray atop of your pond, does the water flow
sequentially down the tray through all the plants
from Plant 1 to Plant 9 where it exits a waterfall
back into the pond?

Do you have any illustrations or pictures of the
pond construction, filter details, plant baskets, etc?
Do you have a bottom drain and a skimmer
at the other end of the pond (opposite waterfall)?
How big is your pump?

You might get some watercress from the store. It grows easily.

In the summer, it dies back in the heat. You might think about water
celery, it thrives in the summer. Additionaly, water hyacinth. Both
grow
well and produce lots of discardable plants...throwing out as green
plants
what was brown waste. The root systems catch muck and provide great
bactrial surface.
