Here’s a lady after my own heart, an unused bath tub, some tile and slate left over from other projects and…………………………..one garden pond.

delete reply flamingoette wrote on Aug 15, '09 such a neat idea. and geez, that looks sooo peaceful. yes eagle, in some areas you have to heat the ponds that you BUILD (not those that are already put there by nature) so the fish dont freeze. in Tennessee, i was surprised to see the Amish use goldfish (actually KOI) in the water troughs for their horses ....it is so they water wont freeze in winter. the Amish are a very industrious bunch and work year round on their land, even when its under ICE there is something to be done....so even the horses work year round. of course, if you arent familiar w the Amish, they are a religious group that uses absolutely NOTHING electrical anywhere. all their cooking is on wood stoves, their tools are hand tools and the women sew and can and scrub things the old fashion way...by HAND. amazing when you think of it.

delete reply earnesttphdthc wrote on Aug 11, '09 hadenough1 said It would still freze where I live unless you added some kind of heater I thought the same thing until somebody told me otherwise. . . .they said all I had to do was leave the pump running. . . so I did it this winter and it never froze ! .. . Oh, btw, we just had the worst winter ever here in my part of Michigan, so if it can last through that it it can last through just about anything .

delete reply hadenough1 wrote on Aug 11, '09 I like that. Very nice. It would still freze where I live unless you added some kind of heater (small) but I like idea. Thank you--nice post with video

delete reply acousticeagle wrote on Aug 11, '09 That fish looks like it's got a great home. Once I lived next door to a woman who started off having nice little fish in a pond. Well, the pond grew overgrown, and they must have been eating well, for the nice shiny orange fish ended up something like big brown carp. They had gone feral, I think, and one wouldn't have wanted to put one's hand in there. Nice to see some ornamental fish in a pleasant and relaxing setting. Living things to visually please with serenity.
