Half-Barrel Water Garden + Rain
Hi all,
Being new to this, I'm beginning a half whiskey barrel water garden. While I figure out where to put it, I'm hoping that you all can address my concern about rain flooding the barrel. To what extent can this affect my yard? I also have some mature trees and planted shrubs that I don't want to kill due to problems that might result from too much water, if in fact this could happen. But all indications from my local water garden store workers seem to indicate that this wouldn't be a problem. And I couldn't find anything through online searches indicating there would be a problem. What would you say? How many feet should I place this barrel pond from other plants, and what can I do to prevent flooding without installing underground drains? I was thinking of just playing it safe and placing it on the covered porch (less sunlight, though, and I would like blooms), or filling the bottom with rocks high enough to hold a pole w/ cement as base where I can put an umbrella up to shield the pond from rain. What do you all recommend if I even need to have concern? Thanks, Daniel Phillips [+]bandito[-]spam = [-]toppler.[+]zworg.com Be warned, may mistakingly bounce back as spam. |
