Do you have a bottom drain in your ponds?
What about veggie filter?
Just curious and wondering if I should do something like that.

no bottom drain...wish I did, but it wouldn't work in the goldfish/lily
pond....it would work real good in koi pond. My ONLY method of filtration
for my ponds are veggie filters...wouldn't ever have a mechanical filter. I
love the veggie filters. Jerri

You got a good website to show me how its done?

all you have to do is either use a liner or a preform to make a small pond.
Plant it VERY heavily with good filter plants. My favorites are iris, (
planted in lave rock in milk crates so the roots stick out) and floaters like
lettuce, hyacinth frog bit, and lots and lots of anacharis. You then just run
the pump pipe into it, and have it drain back into your pond. I have 3 filter
ponds about the size of bath tubs....Jerri

Or in my case...I will be pumping water OUT of my VF, with a pipe running
from the a bottom drain into the VF to re-supply the pump.
