Scaled-back Pond Plan?
I was going to install a pond of approx. 6' by 10' with a section that was
around 3' deep. I'm considering scaling that back to be just a so called "bird pond" that is around 3' by 4' feet and only 6" deep. I want the sights and sounds of moving water but not a lot of maintenance. I'm going to incorporate this into some new landscaping/hardscaping around the deck. My feedback request: - Can a keep a couple of fish in this size pond over the warm months? I know it would be too shallow to winter them here in the northeast. - Is this too small for a good ecosystem to "run" on its own and will actually require more attention than a larger pond? - Given that this would be my first pond, how likely is it that I'll want something larger once I get a taste of having a pond? - If I keep the surface area dimensions around 3' by 4' but go with more depth, could I keep a couple of fish in there over the winter? Thanks in advance. |
