10 years ago my father packed up his camper and was ready to go on vacation when he decided to first clean out his overgrown pond. He died of electrocution that day, accidentally cutting through the electric line of the pump with his pruners, thinking it was a plant stalk. He was a year away from retirement. I know that couldn’t happen with your setup but just in case anyone watching could be in the same situation please be aware of the danger. If this helps save even one person reading this, it’s worth dampening the awesome mood in here:) Take care guys and keep up the good work.

Whatever you set up around the pond maybe keep in designer containers or grow bags to easily relocate until you achieve the desired look and feel. Epic magic visual beginning there K&J. First thought was hibiscus. Then pampas and other grasses. Lemon grass or lemon verbena may repel mosquitos. Any weeping trees might highlight the waterfall and any trees strategically placed to add desired shade to your oasis will help keep it and the fish cool in the pool. Although anything flowering will look spectacular reflecting off the water you don't want the spent blooms dropping into the water potentially clogging filter or pump when they are done. Same goes with deciduous tree leaves. Avoid planting willow into the ground where you have water or even septic pipes. They seek a lot of water and have broken pipes to get it. Although a weeping willow may look nice and there are dwarf varieties, their roots are not dwarfed. You have such a Montage of grow bags that around your pond could be ideal to showcase them. Avoid use of porcelain or clay pots that could too easily break against those rocks. Great work guys

You need some elephant ear for your pond, maybe at the top of the waterfall. They get huge in the summer, provide good shade, and have amazing looking leaves. In my koi pond I have them at the bottom of the waterfall because they can grow in air with water flowing over the roots. Mine are in full sun during the summer and do just fine incase you were worried about leaf burn. -edit - They do fine in the soil too which is why I mentioned the top there were it is blank.

That's what we do with our 100 gallon stock pond. It has small fish in it, a ton of plants, and fish do really well with frequent water changes. The water is taken out to water, and I refill with rain water if it is getting too low, and the outlet from our rain barrel goes into the filter so when it rains it probably gets a 50% change in a few hours. I do take the outlet out if it is raining too hard.

I would add some native marginals as well as an array of mosses. A riparian environment inspired by the ones in California would be great, maybe include a native sycamore as a shade tree. The algae problem can be alleviated if you introduce some algae eaters in your pond. I'm not sure that oto cats or amano shrimp would do well but nerite snails should adapt well and avoid getting eaten by the koi, plecos would work too.

My koi get fed 3 times a day in the summer, they are 1.5 to 2 feet long. They are more active in the summer due to the heat so they eat more food. During the winter I feed them once a day. In the spring I feed them 1 to 2 times depending on how active they are at that time. Mine also gets cleaned once a month because that algae will take over and make it nasty. Also use a product that helps reduce the algae growth. Had my pond for almost 20 years.

Hi guys...great job with the pond..a few observations...your water lily collection needs feeding on a regular basis..there are "pond tabs" you can push into the pots designed to keep them well-fed and blooming for all season...they should be growing like mad right now...they look like "tropical" varieties which should do well in your area, but need constant feeding. Be careful planting around the edges of the pond, as anything you put there will eventually find the water and grow, maybe too well...but a papyrus or two would look wonderful...the tall Egyptian kind..and they would block the view of your huge water tank..plant them a bit away from the edge, as they will tolerate growing in only soil. Keep a watch on your water chemistry..the "string" algae are usually found where the water is high in nitrogen from the fish "fertilizer" but may be an indication of an unbalanced chemistry...a visit from a pond guy might be in order just to be sure. Loved the video...Kevin, you are a true "fish"!!

Gets cold here (NY Adirondacks) at night, 50s are not uncommon in midsummer, and the water lettuce and water hyacinth barely live while the water lilies do grow but only very slowly. Really struggling to get surface coverage and the rocks and bottom are covered in heavy algae as a result. Taro slowly dies back here, same for corkscrew rush. Plants like iris and pickerel that grow great in area lakes and ponds barely live here even when potted in Aquascape media. Attempts to fertilize the mesh pots just got us heavier algae (clump stuff, not string at least).

I think the hill going up on the right side of the pond would look beautiful with some purple creeping thyme, it's a great ground cover and only grows like 2 inches tall so you won't ever have to mow it and the pollinaters love it!

I hate to say grass but it seems like you'll probably want a walk way around the outskirts your pond? The area around the pond seems like a great place for a raised path to observe the pond from a different angle. I think you should make a green pathway (doesn't need to be grass, perhaps clover or even some kind of creeping ground cover?). Something you can happily walk on bare foot and then behind the path plant tall plants to disguise the big water tank. The main issue right now is the bare dirt makes it look half finished like a construction site.

For around the pond, I really love the tropical look of strelitzias and monsteras. Along with something short and grassy.

Definetly plant some swamp milkweed around the pond, it will attract the monarchs!

Something tall iand evergreen n the back to block the cistern.. Cleyera or bottlebrush, or bougainvillea on a trellis? Be sure to put at least one mid sized plant closer in to provide protection and a flight path for birds. It looks fantastic!
