We’ve been talking about digging a pond for a couple years now, but with little time or motivation to start digging, I decided to make a pond in a clawfoot tub last year. The clawfoot tub that we bathed in our first year here (to Al’s chagrin) is now a pond with goldfish, some sort of bottom feeder fish and a few water plants: waterlily, water hyacinth, water lettuce, duckweed and a bottom plant that is supposed to balance the pond and keep the water clean. The fish went in earlier this week, but we are just now starting to see them as they’ve been very shy. The great thing about this water garden is that there will be no weeds.
