I'll start doing my research into converting the small pond into a veggie
filter. I want to ensure that I don't have to purchase the plants again
next year from potential damage from freezing. unlike the big pond, the
small one completely freezes. My in-laws have a 30 acre cottage in Perry
Sound where there's a huge abundance of peat material with growing honey
dews and picture plants. These probably a few acres of this. Wondering if
I could utilize a few square feet of it on my filter. The lake freezes over
every year, but the plants come back after the spring thaw. Could this be
done?

You've already got all you need except for adding LOTS of
plants, floating plants with lots of roots are the best.
Slow the flow rate of your pump dowm so the water
spends more time in the veggie filter section and you're
all set.
