I found this picture of Diana's pond.



Just wonder whether this setup has been discussed in this forum or not?

Michael

Not to my knowledge. Thanks for the link!

I can't find a date on it, do you know when the interview was done?

I experiment with aquarium plants in little ponds in my back yard every summer. The plants are in pots because I have tropical fish in some of them, and need to be able to clean and drain the ponds in the fall.

I say "pots', but actually the best results come when I plant in shallow trays about 3" deep. I put 1" to 1.5" of soil on the bottom, then top with pea gravel or coarse sand. This is a deliberate immitation of Walstad's method for aquaria.

Even large plants like water lilies do well when planted like this, if the koi don't dig them up. The koi out grew even my largest pond, so they were given to people with larger ponds. Now my largest fish are goldfish, and they are not as hard on plants.

wonderful ludwigia

Lol I hate it, destroyed most of it to give the other plants a chance. It's weedier than star grass / naja / cabomba / even the floaters.

These are all so pretty. I don't really have much shade. I'd love to try them but fear they would get way to hot without shade. So love Michael's ponds. My son has wanted to do an in-ground pond here for years.
