    Japan is full of such mini ponds, I always wondered how they do it without filters and water circulation. Thanks to the comments, i now know. There is also a village here along a river that feeds into lake Biwa and the way they managed to clean up their water is similarly inspiring. They have little covered “wash houses" along the river, where they wash their dishes etc with the running water from the river. But before it gets returned back to the river, the water passes through several basins were fish catch and eat the leftover food scraps. The river bed itself has some specific species living there that they use as cleanliness indicators to monitor the state of the quality of the river as it passes downstream. There’s a nice documentary on it.

    I tried to make a pond a couple of weeks ago, but the water got really muddy. Guess it's because of the soil I used - regular potting soil. Next week I am getting now soil and some sand, and some gravel and small stones. I have a pennywort, and will be getting lotus seeds as well. Thinking about getting a couple of other small plants and also to propagate a moneyplant (on the side of the pond) inspired by this video. Even the tub I have is very similar to this one shown here. I hope next time the water will stay clear. Just wanna get some fish-friendly plant fertilizer as well.

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist
      @TheUrbanNemophilist  2 года назад +19

      That is really unfortunate. This is a lo tech walstad method hence no filter. You can get algae with filters too. The key is to avoid direct sunlight, having floaters, aquatic and terrestrial plants, initially 60% water change every alternate day and housing only hardy fish like guppies. Nerites can do a good job of feeding on algae. Having said all of the above one can still face algae issues. They are part of an ecosystem.

    Simple and beautiful. Do you need to feed the fish or add nutrients for the plants? Or is it a self contained ecosystem? I've never had a water garden, but I'm starting a small one this spring, and hopefully a pond next spring. I'd love to hear more on how to maintain them.
