Creating A Water Tank Pond with Carnivorous Rock Gardens / Homegrown Garden
I’ve been wanting to start this new pond project for some time and I’m so excited to finally build and share it with you from start to finish! There’s a lot going on here, but see the chapters below if you need to. In this video you’ll see how I convert and seal an old galvanised water tank into a pond feature complete with pond plants, carnivorous plants and bubbles! You’ll also see how I create my ‘rock gardens’ inspired by those of Sarracenia Northwest. Remember I have no electricity on the allotment so the pond doesn’t have any fancy filtration or pumps, just a basic solar aerator and plenty of plants to keep the water healthy. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
