Eventually, the one on the right was immersed in the pond. I also used the black drum for the two 'unknown' seeds and one oil barrel drum [contained and passed off gallons of rainwater for 3-4 seasons - no danger. That tub that went into the pond was used for water. The drum is painted white on the inside with some rust at damaged parts. I put in the 'parent white' in the pond and the 'parent light pink' in the green barrel that holds about 10 gallons. I filled them up with at least 5 inches of ordinary garden soil and I chose not to put in cow manure. It took half a day for the lighter floaters to settle.

I bought a liner that was 18x12 feet. My pond is 2 feet deep when water is full brim. There are 'steps' on 3 sides.

All 3 containers can be seen here: one in the pond, two outside.
