Project for Winter
Bored, pond group taken over by trolls? For the frustrated, winter bound
cyber ponder: Project for Winter whiners? You know who you are, those of you NOT looking forward to winter and the closing of the pond season. ;o) Here is a project for you, you will need: 3 different house plants that easily root in water Ex: Peace Lily, heart leaf Philodendron, Arrowhead, etc Soak these in tap water, minimum 3 days, ideally a week. A small waterproof container about 2 gallon size, ~ 7" deep, flat bottom 3 small black nursery pots, 2" size is ideal. Small River Rock enough to fill the 3 pots above Becket Container Garden Fountain Kit (BCGF) or pump & bell fountain kit of similar size. Put the pump in it's (rinsed) foam filter and place in the center of your waterproof container, fill partially with pond water. Placed soaked cuttings, one plant per pot and add rocks to hold firm. Place around filter/pump. Philodendron, vine type, can be used to hide cord going over side. Top off with anacharis or hornwort in the middle to hide the filter. Fill the rest of the way with pond or dechlorinated water, turn on pump and let circulate. Now you can add a couple of tiny baby fish for a ponsai or... you have one heck of a fancy cat/dog watering bowl. *********** If you see anything missing in the above instruction, please let me know. I'm teaching a hands on ponsai class Thursday. TIA ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: www.jjspond.us ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
