Ponds and Gardens


My pond, regretfully, does not have a waterfall - too cheap to run an electrical line to the pond. But I absolutely agree with this video.
My pond clearly attracts beneficial insects, frogs and toads - the birdhouses in my garden are also perfect in attracting great insect-eating birds.  I also use the water throughout spring - a perfect fertilizer. And of course the silt and spent plants from the pond are perfect additions to my compost pile.
