HOW TO MAKE WHEELBARROW POND FOR YOUR FISH

pond is hard to make and expensive.wheel barrow pond is very easy and cheap.
1st find an old wheelbarrow or wheelbarrow that you dont use. then unscrew all the screws.we just want the top part. then dig where you want your pond.after that you put your wheelbarrow in the hole you just dig and then you put a plastic bag (for gardening that large enough to cover the wheel barrow) on top of the wheel barrow so water wont leak.then put rocks at the bottom and fill it with water.and you use cloth peg to make sure the plastic bag stay in the wheel barrow peg the plastic to the side of the wheelbarrow.then put your fish (my advice goldfish or koi). approx time if you have all the equipment 10 minutes.if you have any question please ask.

that sounds really neat maybe when the weather warms up I'll try it is it safe?
Do you need a filter? should there be gravel in it? also can anyone try to find pictures of one?

Thanks for the DIY idea, and welcome to our forum.

hello thanks for reply,its safe you can you use filter or not but if you dont use it, you have to clean it once a week.you can use gravels,rocks or even nothing doesnt matter ill try give you picture.

Cool idea!
I have seen this done but have never tried it. My parents had a Koi pond that I took care of for them. I would recommend using a filter and a clean up crew like pond snails etc.. Would love to see pictures!

We all LOVE pictures!!!

No matter the size of pond I would recommend looking into your city and state policies before starting on any pond project. I know in my state you need a permit and what not cause something to do with it possibly leaking underground into the water sources or something like that. My Inlaws wanted to put a fishing pond on there 80 acre property and they needed permits to do it. Its a hefty fine if you don't so yah I would look into before hand.

LOL just noticed something, This is a really old post put towards the top so i assumed it was newer

We leave in older posts, because they can be interesting and informative. Sometimes they even stimulate more discussions.... like the permit for a pond laws. Here in Phoenix, they sell molded ponds that can be set up on or in the ground. The city probably does have laws about in ground ponds, and they have rules about standing water. Once in a while we get West Nile Virus problems.

simply brilliant

What's a West Nile Virus problem. Sorry, I know this is an old post, but I'm a newbie and reading thru the old stuff, trying to expand the mind

West Nile Virus is transmitted by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in standing water.
I do happen to know that the species of mosquito that transmits the virus will not breed in water that has so much as a constant drip of water falling into it, rippling the surface. I might also think that the right kinds of fish would happily eat mosquito larva. My bettas love them.
