    You MOTHER EFFER I used to watch your fashion videos in middle school 2015 and could not for the life of me find your videos later on. Now I’m a plant guy and found your videos again. Funny how the world works.

    "That's why I need some fish, to make sure there's no swinger parties, in my back yard" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
    Edit* I get all the water out of my pond to clean it, with the pump. I keep it running and take the tube and let the water run out on the plants.
    That way your not breaking your back. Work smarter. Not harder. Lol!
    (New subscriber- I'm stalking all your videos 😂)
    I'm a plant junkie. My yard is insane. Pretty sure the neighbors are worried, but it catches eyes and gets tons of praise! 😊

  • @livinglifeleona
    @livinglifeleona ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Omg you’re like the guy version of me lol. Don’t worry about the shubunkins - they’re so small while they grow and you have plenty of time to make the bigger pond for them later down the road. Can’t wait to see more of your diy projects!

    I put goldfish in my pond. They eat the skeeters and are cold hardy. Being zone 6, I used water lily for my plant along with water lettuce and water hyacinth. I also got a water buttercup and another plant that isn’t cold hardy. I needed something to shade the water. For pond sludge, there is a natural barley you can sprinkle in your pond to eat up the dead algae the fish don’t get to.

  • @danabrousseau6579
    @danabrousseau6579 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good job, though, and a good practice for creating a pond. Though I recall you saying in your last vid that you didn’t want a water feature that was too big in case you have little ones eventually running around. I’m from Nova Scotia and our water feature ponds freeze over, but if the pond is deep enough the Koi fish stay alive under the layer of ice. I don’t know how, but they do. Obviously they must be hardy enough to survive low water temps. They have fish in the arctic after all.

      I jumped the gun on my comment. My 3 shubunkin are over 5" after 1 year in my pond which is about 500 gallons. I'm sure you have a future plan for them though.

  • @Piperspeaks
    @Piperspeaks ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Ayyyy looks good! Btw I have a patio pond a little smaller than yours with a little less plants. I’ve had two goldfish in it for a year and have never fed them once! They completely sustain themselves and forage constantly. Also they only grew about 3-4 inches, I believe because their hormones build up in the water and keep them from outgrowing their environment. You’ll probably never have to remove them man, you good! I’m excited to see how it goes. Thanks for the update! Erth is mah plahnet ✊

    • @paulplantu
      @paulplantu  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What?! That's awesome! The may be growing slower because they're not being fed as regularly. I'm working on a patio pond right now!

    • @garden_creature
      @garden_creature ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The hormone thing is a myth. Most goldfish grow about an inch per year on average, so it sounds like they're actually growing quickly haha
