my little pond was getting pretty murky with algae, too early for the lilypads to cover the surface...

so I played around a bit with a couple of old pillow cases from the rag bag, a plastic basket, and voila! extremely low tech pond filter.

I've had it running for about 48 hours all together, and can already see the tops of the pots the waterlily and papyrus and duck potato are planted in.

I just have the fountain on when I'm home.


OOOHH, another pleasant surprise, all six frogs are back in the pond this evening....
