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.
Thank you for sharing. The Japanese people have mastered it long back and I have huge respect for them. Whatever they do they do it so well in a very inspiring way.
Lovely pond and peaceful, informative video. Thank you. I loved the idea of adding pothos. Even though I always have some propagating in a vase, I never have thought of adding them to my patio ponds.
The Video is slow, but for starters perfekt!and you can speed it up! And its so beautiful! This Pond is made of love! Its also a nice idea to put a broken terracotta pot in the pond! Very nice idea!!
I saw a very small garden transformed into a little paradise once the tub was in position with it plant buddies around & in the container. I definitely want to create something similar.
So good to watch everything perfectly trimmed and placed together. the floating plants are pretty. beautifully done. oh and the tub upcycling was the best idea 💡 Did one similar to this a while ago with a new tub...not so beautiful like this one 🤪
Very nice - I'm looking for something like this for a damp corner of the garden (it's caused by overflow from a rain gutter which is too high up for me to mend). So I thought why not make use of the 'free' water supply!
Inacreditável achar uma outra pessoa daqui da minha cidade vendo esse tipo de vídeo. Eu tô doido pra montar um laguinho desses, o aquário eu já tenho, agora quero um ao ar livre, Lana.
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.
Regular potting soil will work, you just need to cover it with about an inch of sand. I just set up 2 small jarariums using potting soil & its working out fine.
👌👌👌... I too tried this .. after few months lots of algae growth n floating plants overgrown 😨 ... fishes died ..I think I should have fixed oxygen filter pump
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.
I completely envy you for this. We had a similar "pond" in our garden with lotus and had put little fish in it. Unfortunately a stray cat or birds chanced upon it and made a feast out of the fish. I was heartbroken and never got the fish again. 🙁😞
Try putting in hiding places fir fish like ceramic pots, rock arrangement? I've seen some ponds with chicken wire across the top, but doesn't look so nice.
@@livadebnath3429 Our gardener got them. It was tiny and silver. Locally, they call it GUPPY. Na, didn't need any pump or heater. We manually removed and refilled the water every few days. It was not huge, 3 * 3 ft in dimensions.
A real stress buster and treat to the eyes! I would love to know how do you take care of this pond? Specially water circulation to maintain the oxygen in water.
Thanks. Its a Walstad method (you can read about it on Google) so it is meant to function like an ecosystem. Only 40% water changes with an aquarium siphon once a week.
Stunning and so soothing to watch. My son and I thank you very much. I apologize if you’ve already answered this, but do you happen to know the type of guppy fish? Neither of us had ever seen one like them & they’re so beautiful.
Thank you for showing how to create a small pond which is so beautiful. One question, what do you feed your fish with, regular guppy food and do the plants provide any food?

Could you kindly share the link to the documentary? Thank you for the knowledge
can you share the link plz.. love to watch such documentary
Yes pls
Ooh, I love how calmly and gently this lovely little pond was put together. Very meditative and beautiful. Thank you. 😊
Thank you 🙏
There is no greater beauty or charm than what we can find in nature!! Inner peace ❤
feels Japan...
So true! @AMRUTA14
Mosquito does not lay eggs where fishes are there
Going back to basic nature and simplicity is always charming and rewarding. This is inspiring.
Thank you
I've been watching planter and patio pond videos all morning and this is the best one!
Thank you
This is so therapeutic to watch. Makes me want to try my hand at making one too.
Thank you. Yes do make one. It is indeed fun and very rewarding to make one and see it thrive.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist I’d love to see a video on how you maintain the water - even with plants, the water would have to be changed, I think?
Lovely pond and peaceful, informative video. Thank you. I loved the idea of adding pothos. Even though I always have some propagating in a vase, I never have thought of adding them to my patio ponds.
Thank you
That was such a clever and simple way to add height.
Simple aquatic plants, assembled well .Love the ending .🥰😀💚🤎❤

Wonderful and sweet of you. I know she will enjoy it, I would! Nice looking guppy fish too!

Guppies feed on mosquito larvae and keep the ecosystem infestation free

This is simply awesome. You have created a beautiful mini ecosystem 👍🥰
Thanks a lot 🙏
Will try. Surely.
Nice, and fresh 🎉❤
Precioso!
gorgeous. I am working on my first 40G planted aquarium
beautiful idea very interesting
Thanks
Love this video! It's inspiring and I love the music that you chose for it. Very relaxing to watch. Thank you!

Did you ever discover it was because racoons were washing their hands in there?
Inspiring!

@5:37 Hello, nice video.
Love it
Thanks
Nice video. Learnt the plant details.Very informative.
Thanks
@@TheUrbanNemophilist any update on the pond? How does it look now
Очень интересно!
Thanks

Thanks. Feed fish but less frequently than aquarium. Nutrients once in a while.
Very natural ❤️ but I suggest that less floating plants would do great as the inner beuty of the pond would be able to see more 😍
Thanks. I would like to have less floaters too but this is the only way to filter the light and prevent rapid algae blooms since it is kept outdoors
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Yeah agree !!
beautiful idea eep on vlogging
Thanks 🙏
Fantabulous
Thanks
those guppies 😍😍😍😍😍

Sorry to hear that.
Which fish you added? Does it need oxygen air pump and heater?

Thank you for showing how to create a small pond which is so beautiful. One question, what do you feed your fish with, regular guppy food and do the plants provide any food?
thanks. guppy food and they also feed on mosquito larvae that occurs naturally in the ecosystem
Love too do this, but think I’ll have to use different plants. As we live up north 😂
Zone 6 B here. Try floating hearts. Seem hardy down to occasional freezing.
such a wonderful video 😍😍😍
