Barrel Pond Advice

No, I haven't. It has been burnt inside, and the burnt pieces of wood flake off easily. Hadn't thought about giving it a scrub, was just thinking about exposure to the elements. To be honest it's been on the back burner recently. Haven't even got a site yet!

 

It looks lovely mate so far and i seeing lilies in them...it's looking for a good selection of logs now like you stated ....update please when you get them

 

Update on the planter.


The pygmy water lily Helvola has flowered, I'd given up on it but today it opened and there may even be another one coming.
The Water Chestnut and Water Soldier plants aren't doing so well maybe the planter gets too warm being so small, although it probably helps the blanket weed.

 

For such a small body of water...I think you've done exceptionally well there..great choice of plants....

 

stongylodon lovely idea and it looks smashing...plus unusual

 

Water looks remarkably clear for a small pot, well done you.

 

What are your plans for a pond/pool when it come time to upgrade....staying small or going large.
