In this video you will learn about one of the most critical (and beautiful) aspects of healthy ponds: aquatic plants! This will also kick off a new segment of videos, called “into the weeds“ where I go “into the weeds“ - too much detail about a certain plant or group of plants. While I do go into a fair amount of detail, there is so much to learn about aquatic plants. I did not discuss “oxygenators“ in this video primarily because I don’t have any in my pond, and I didn’t go into too much detail about hardy floating plants, the only floating plants shown were the tropicals such as water Hyacinth or water lettuce. I hope you enjoy this video, let me know your thoughts down in the comments.

My stepfather built probably a 2k gallon pond 30 years ago. For the first few years people would drive by and stop to look at it. The liner has been leaking for years. He died a few months ago, and I want to make the pond really nice again. Replacing the liner this spring, so I 'm looking for ideas to improve. Thanks for the videos.

Really nice looking. Watched this some time ago, but it appeared again so, gave it a re-watch and it's really great. Am also packing it full of plants, the only, but major difference, is that I don't like filtrations. I believe that a pond doesn't need ANY water movement nor filtration. So, no carp, meaning, no koi fish, only fish species that the pond can nourish on it's own. Goldfish, guppy, some labyrinth fish that can handle the cold, rice fish, some minnow species and loach that live in still waters, shrimps of course to eat the algae, gammarus for the algae and rotting matter control, daphnia for crystal clear water, random copepods that you can get from any random water body etc. etc. and it becomes a natural pond with crystal clear water and zero noise from filtration, and also, zero electricity expense.

Hi Michał, thanks so much for your comment! I’m glad my videos make you feel better! My Japanese lantern is made of concrete. Yes, I have noticed lanterns placed near water in Japanese gardens. I think it’s 18” or 24” tall. I think that’s about 35 centimeters?

Very nice pond, are your pond plants in pots in the bottom of the pond or did you plant them in gravel ?
@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener 3 года назад
Hi Judy, All of the plants in my pond are planted in gravel; no pots. That allows them to use the nutrients in the water, and to grow unimpeded. If a plant gets out of control, I’ll divide them.

@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener 3 года назад
Hi Joey, No, I don’t have issues with snakes around the pond. They like open sunny areas. So planting your garden to grow lush once mature will not leave them a space to sun bathe. Even if I did, they’re great for eating pests like rodents and insects. They should be more afraid of you than you are of them.

@elivaquera
@elivaquera 3 года назад
Quick question I do not seem to find an answer online, but i assume it's pretty obvious for someone like you. If we are treating our pond with broad spectrum disease treatment, do we need to stop the filtration system for the duration of the treatment? It's a 500 gallon pond and using the The Pond Guy® ClearSolution™ G2 Filter System. There is an additional fountain aerating without filter.
@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener 3 года назад
Hi Elizabeth, What are you treating the pond for? Do you have fish? What are their symptoms? Yeah, I would stop your filter in that case, but then you’ll need to reintroduce the beneficial bacteria after. But I’d definitely recommend acutely figuring out the problem you’re having.

@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener Год назад
Yes! Hostas can grow in water, albeit slower. For the hostas that are in the ground I don’t cut the hostas back, and mulch over them. That gives the slugs something to eat the next year.

@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener 3 года назад
Hi Elizabeth, Thanks so much! I’m sure it’s gonna be awesome!! No, as long as it’s 2’ deep, fish can stay in all year. That said, from a predator prevention standpoint, the pond should be 3’ deep, or more. I’d go as deep as possible without having to get into permits and all that. Your shelves would be half that. I’ll record a video on this when I can get started with projects this year. It’d be incredible the amount of plants that could be grown in zone 7! Colocasia can be perennial, and red stem Thalia can be perennial too.
@elizabethr2908
@elizabethr2908 3 года назад
The Barefooted Gardener , that’s great to know! How long after you set up your pond did you put fish in? I’m filling mine with well water. Not sure how long it will take to cycle. I ordered Elephant ears for the garden for the first time after watching your videos. Bikini tini and Giant Thailand ❤️
@TheBarefootedGardener
@TheBarefootedGardener 3 года назад
I had to put my fish in immediately after building because I already had fish. But ideally you would probably wait two weeks or so for your larger pond fish. Minnows can be added the day after, once chlorine evaporates. I use an automatic dosing system which puts in the beneficial bacteria like an IV drip twice a day, with that you could probably put in a few larger fish immediately, but you don’t want to put in too many at once. That will create an ammonia spike without the established bacteria to support it.

Yes, they should be. They’ll reach the surface quickly if water temperature is warm. Chances are good that you don’t have to remove it for winter- most are hardy down to zone 4 in 18” or more of water.

The water lilies are also just planted in the gravel at the bottom of the pond- 2’ of water depth. If you want to fertilize them you can, but after they’ve been established/ growing for 4 years, they bloom almost continuously. Remember to remove dead and dying leaves out of the pond. They make great mulch in the garden.
