Mid April report
wowo... my total veggie filter is 12" x 12" by maybe 14 ' long along 2 sides
of the pond. The distance is needed to get the silt out. I am going to use PVC pipe like someone suggested, put my pots of stuff in that. last year the cyperus got so big I couldnt get it back out of the filter. I recovered a couple chunks and whacked the rest and my DH got them out this spring. what I especially like is putting big baskets of flowers in the filter with just the bottom of the basket in the water ... the color is so nice and I never need to water those baskets all year. Ingrid "Phyllis and Jim" wrote in message oups.com... Total time for a 4 x 8 pond: 30 min. That does it for the year.Total annual maintence of filter system: 1.5 hours. Man, do I like veggie filters with drains |
