Create A Fun and Easy Indoor Pond!
Provided by: Alternative Pond & Gardens Mart -Brigitte Burc
Making an indoor pond is fun and easy!
Any good quality, plastic container of about 10 inches in depth will do the job. The container should be at least 30 inches wide and 36 inches long (plastic storage containers work great).
Surround the container with flat rocks which have been washed thoroughly. The last layer of rocks should cover the top edge of the container.
Use a 75 gph pump to circulate the water.
Add a few plants that have been planted in aquatic planting medium.
One or two small goldfish can survive in this Pond.
Add a few plants in Terra Cotta pots around the back edge of the little pond for a natural backdrop.
Now you have a little bit of nature inside the house to enjoy all year!
