How do you clean it

[@TheDuckDiaries]

I have made a 3 phase bog filter for it that runs 24/7, I also drain it via the pump every couple of weeks into our veggie garden :)

@@TheDuckDiariescan you make a video showing that?

[@TheDuckDiaries]

@ yes definitely, we are just over seas at the moment though. We will be back mid January ☺️

@@TheDuckDiaries ok awesome, im going to subscribe so i can hopefully get to that video. We had ducks for years, i LOVED them. We’ve only ever had little pools for them though… like everywhere… pools everywhere lol. It was such a pain. I want to get ducks again but i really want to figure out how to do what you did… one big pool that stays put… somehow clean the water without emptying it everyday. I know there’s plants you can put in the water to help with that also, but im thinking a big filter of some kind. But does yours get filled up with gunk? Do you have to clean your filter? Im very interested how you did this… thanks in advance!!

Hey! We are located in Christchurch :)

[@meadrockbreaker796]

been looking at doing something similar for my flock, have hard Texas clay soil that I really would rather not have to dig into

[@TheDuckDiaries]

@@meadrockbreaker796 It is a great alternative! Hopefully it has given you some inspiration. Do you have a homestead? 😊

[@meadrockbreaker796]

@TheDuckDiaries love how raising it will also help minimize the amount of dirt they track in and digging around the base, trying to turn my 3000 ft2 (279 m2) backyard into a mini homestead

[@TheDuckDiaries]

@@meadrockbreaker796 exactly! Oh that’s awesome, we are on about 1000m2. Trying to do the same thing 😊
