How lovely. No wonder you’re excited. I’d be thrilled - maybe I should try a mini pond again. My last one was a dismal failure, which has put me off trying again. I know it was probably too deep, didn’t have enough oxygenating plants, the lily gave up the ghost and I ended up with a smelly half barrel pond full of slimy weed. (Duckweed, I think). Not sure where I’d put another one though, if I decided to try again as the area I did use is now full of plants. Not my most shining moment in gardening! So hats off to you and your wonderful success.
Awww thanks! I have to admit, it wasn't plain sailing to begin with. Mine too absolutely stank, the water turned black and the plants looked like they were about to give up the ghost. As a last resort I moved them into a plastic tub, drained it out and lined it with pond liner-you can probably see the staples round the edge. Refilled it, and put the plants back-hopefully problem sorted (fingers crossed).
