I did this years ago and it worked well. The secret is the pinwheel

1:11 Impressive clovers. I think that they are called red clovers even though they appear purple in the video.

They may be chives, I think I see where they've been chopped for use

[@dmnos6824]

@@HarryisI You would very well be correct, my aunt also had chives recently and the flower heads look the same from a distance. Thanks.

I added creek water

Does well water coming out of a hose work?

[@42Time]

Yep :)

[@mpalmernyc]

Wouldn't the water evaporate?

[@OneTwentyOver80]

Just keep an eye on it, if it's losing water just top it up. More likely during the summer. You can use tap water, just leave a few buckets out for a few days and any fluoride will evaporate out of it. Used to do this for my aquarium, it's called 'old water' funny enough.

@@OneTwentyOver80 the issue with tap water for pong life is nitrogen and phosphorus. aquariums and ponds are two very different things. use rain water if possible.

I wanted to see the thumbnail pond 👎🏻

[@coppurt]

It’s basically the same principle, just larger. Everything you need to know for a larger size one is mentioned in the video

[@Vikface1978]

It’s still clickbait and wrong not to put the right pond image on the thumbnail. Thumbs down 👎🏻
