yes, here is shows details of building the veggie filter
http://puregold.aquaria.net/mypond/2000/p2000.htm
yes, it does flow thru. and one year I put clumps of water celery in a row and sure
enough, the ones got the water first got the biggest.
uhh.. I would recommend doing the veggie filter BEFORE filling the pond. LOL.
the baskets are regular plastic pots. I turn one upside down and put the plant on
top. filter is only 12" deep. at the beginning where the water goes in (left side) I
rolled up some filter material and jammed it down into the box. some rough stuff
first, then aquatic ecosystem reticulated foam right after the "corners" and then a
roll of polyester batting supported by another roll of rougher stuff closer to teh
water falls. The mulm builds up during the year.
this year I am absolutely, positively going to make a proper filter to get all the
fine stuff out before the water goes into the filter. sigh.
no bottom drain, no skimmer (no leaves cause of the net). no idea how big the pump
is, the Pond Lady sized it for me. got a UV hoodgie too.

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?
