This is what people want to watch, the real DIY rather then buy all the expensive stuff from the mall. Thanks for bringing back the original TH-cam
I love how dogs are always like, _watcha doin? watcha doin?_ and they're all happy and try to 'help.'
I am 58 and bought that same pond from Facebook marketplace because of this video. I always wanted pond! That was beautiful. And good for you for thinking of those future children!!
Me and my husband are starting ours tomorrow and I’m so excited that I can’t even go to sleep. Just pray we don’t throat punch each other during the process lol
Beautiful pond! I’ll be showing this to my husband hoping he tries to outdo you!
Learn from my mistake & avoid goldfish if you’re going to stick with the budget filtration as they have an extremely high bio load & will sludge up your filter constantly & check out “golden white cloud minnows” as a stocking option. A small active fish that are really bright when viewed from the top.
Thank you so much, I was about to buy some goldfish too! Hahaha!
Small preformed Ponds are great to start with even whiskey barrel ones great for waterplants and carnivorous plants . Also small Ponds without fish are great
For frogs and toads
I used goldfish in a small pond without a filter only a pump running out a big piece of driftwood but I made sure to put crawfish and snails and any smaller bottom feeders that I found not only did my pond stay clean but my fish thrived for years before I moved
@@austin2739 just because goldfish are resilient, doesn’t mean they thrived.
I love how the dogs helped with every aspect of the build
This shows “ One man’s trash is another man’s treasure “ isn’t just a saying. Dude makes OJ with lemons pure excellence😂😂
Finally someone actually building a budget friendly and pretty easy to do small pond! I click on so many supposedly easy diy pond videos and they aren’t but this is exactly what I was wanting to do
I had this exact prefab pond, along with putting stone in there i used a solar fountain pump with no filtration, just to circulate water. I also put bog plants in the shallow section and added hornwort , once it conditioned for some weeks, I added some glass shrimp an later some speckeled mollies. Once a year Id add a little barley straw. That water was crystal clear and a few years later I found freshwater sponge growing in there which was amazing. Dragonfly would come by and lay eggs an then I had dragonfly nymphs, it was the coolest little pond, then Harvey came and flood waters basically cleaned it out😢
I love that you are mindful of your dogs and this is absolutely amazing! Great work on a budget! A pond doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars!
1000x’s better than my first pond build, you sir are a natural!
Funny you mention "natural" like he did in the description but then shows off the big piece of plastic.
Hola! 🖐Nice little project, I really like that pond. What I especially enjoy is how you have an assortment of "goodies" you have collected over time. That's what Grammy (my wife) and I like to do. Find random objects at random times in random places and then repurpose. Good luck on your future projects. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
I discovered my passion for gardening last year, along with a newfound appreciation for the appearance of my landscape. As I look to expand my outdoor oasis, constructing a pond is an exciting prospect that I am eager to pursue. This video has been immensely helpful in guiding me towards achieving my goal, and I am truly grateful for the valuable insight it has provided.
Idk but this video overall made me feel happy. Pond look absolutely phenomenal
Ok 😮 this is the best pond build I’ve seen, forget that it’s on a budget. Man you really nailed it and brought that vision home. I need to finally try this myself, been looking for inspiration and this, is, it!
I clicked on this because it looks like he gardens AND raps. And now I'm subscribed.
I really enjoyed watching this one more than the others that had 3 people working on the ponds, this was more like reality. I have to do this myself and after watching, I know I can proceed with my project. Thanks!!
Love the pond, and how good it came out. That huge pot is perfect! Watching the dogs was fun too!
Came across this looking for ideas for my own garden pond and OMG. One of my fav videos. Made me laugh cuz I've actually dug up SOO many rocks / boulders at my house too that I plan to use. Thank you for posting.
I like how you're just going w/the flow (pond pun). I myself am doing a pond on a budget, thanks for the inspiration
This was only on a budget because you got so many free things. You couldn't build that nice of a pond without a hearty investment. Your dogs are adorable.
Your pond looks great but I have a couple pieces of advice in regards to the pump placement. You have it too close to your waterfall. You want to maximize good circulation and Ideally you want your pump/suction line to be as far away from the waterfall/return as possible. Also it's better for the pump to be near the bottom in case there is water loss (evaporation/leaks etc) that way it doesn't run dry and burn up if not caught in time.
Good advice! I can hear my neighbors pond pump cavitating (sucking air) about once a month or so. LOL!
Bad advice, if you develop a leak in the line you will have dead fish... it's a hard balance, best filtration or better survivability. Far from the falls, absolutely, I'd say leave at least 1 foot above the bottom personally. Add a top skimmer, and a swirl filter, then a stronger mechanical filter, then a bio filter, finally route it all to the waterfall.
I say keep the pump middle of the pond not on the bottom. In case something happens and water starts to leak. It wont pump all the water out, and leave you with dried fish.
Great advice for sure !Tomorrow I'm going to be creating my 1st deck pond and I am searching for the do 's and doughnuts
Not even kidding I have been waiting for you to make a pond since you created this channel.
I’m so excited to watch it
Just watched this in the UK, I totally love your enthusiasm and your dog's supervision made me laugh too, great job dude!!
Mind that gorgeous dog's paws. He obviously wants to help with the digging. Nice.
Why is this my new favorite channel. You killing it Paul!
Definitely enjoyed the video. I can understand the excitement of building everything from scratch and to see the final result was just amazing. Love how the pond is looking and your dogs were a joy to watch too 😂
Never saw such epic digging.
Loving the retreat you are creating for your family!
Thank you so much, me too!!
You absolutely killed this project man. You’ve inspired me to build one I’m starting tomorrow
"Crevases" Haha! Love it bro!🤣
Love how the dogs are so interested as well 😂 lol
wow….just wow, looks absolutley stunning
it nice to real life builds on a budget because most people live on the average income this is nice 👌
Dude, when you said that one plant was lemony-green “like a popshicle in the shummertime” I thought I was gonna die laughing! 😂 You made me roll my eyes and laugh too many times! 🤣You’re hilarious!
I appreciate your willingness to try all of this stuff and to give feedback on whatever your experience comes out to be. I’m also going to try my best to grow wildflowers that will attract all these pollinators, but I really hope to attract lots of butterflies & hummingbirds! 👍🏻😊
Those stones along the edge were a really nice touch!
Thank you homie
@@paulplantu AWESOME JOB I love the big plant pot
as a waterfall, you lucked out with the stones & rocks 👍
It turned out great. You got SUPER LUCKY with the rocks and especially that pot!! If you bought that at a store it would cost 75-150+dollars!
All and all to purchase your entire set up, it would cost the average jo who's buying it all around 300+ bucks (including plants)
I have a pond as well. One thing I've learned, people ALWAYS want it bugger when its all said and done! I was one of these people, so what I did was keep my existing pond in the ground, went and bought the HUGE liner at Lowes (75 bucks! 🥶)
But, this way I could go as deep and shape it however I liked.
I want to say the liner was 20×50 It may be larger, I can't remember it's exact footage.
But, I left a walkway between the two so it looks like it's one giant pond, but it's really two, you have to get more filters, but it's so worth it.
If you have neighbors, it drowns out all the noise and makes your yard feel isolated and private❤
And just so enjoyable. It looks great! Love your enthusiasm 💙💙
Nicely done !!!! We had a 5000 gallon pond much like this at our old property. Hint on filtration if you add fish, I used a sheet of quilting filler cloth (cut in correct size pieces) and lifted it out every week and rinsed it off - easy. Caught a lot alot of the green algae.
I’m definitely saving this video! I’ve been trying too figure out a way to have cattails in my yard, and this is it! Just a reminder, a child can drown in a five gallon bucket or less. I love your enthusiasm, it’s contagious. 👍🌸
Love how the dogs making sure of everything
You made this look easy enough for me to do! I made two recirculating fountains last year with underground containers. I have wanted a pond but didn't think it was something I could do. Thanks for sharing!
Haha, it is a lot of work don’t get it confused but it’s definitely worth it.
Your dogs are ADORABLE
I love your dogs excitement and your pins turned out great
I’m in love with this, I’m hopeful that you added a plant to the water feature though, great job
You did great! Plants I've had success with in my pond are Water Hyacinths and Water Lettuce. They spread. You may get algae turning the pond green. Algaefix works well against that. I put Platy fish in mine. They're live breeders and with provide you with some little ones. 🙂
I have a fountain but always wanted a pond. Yours is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks
I am as happy as you are to see your project from start to finish 👏👏👏👏
You inspired me, young man. Thank you‼️
I’ve watched a bunched of pond videos. This one is by far one of the best out here. Good job!
No it's not
This was literally the easiest video. Glad i ran into this..im at Lowes in the morning..this got me back inspired for sure
Really nice job on the budget pond. I would suggest a pond plant to keep it clear and someway for frogs and lizards to get out and a place for the birds to enjoy. It's always so sad seeing dead frogs or lizards floating because they didn't have a way to get out. Good job!
I'm going to do a pond update and add more plants and fish. Thanks for the comment!
This was exactly what I was looking for - so many good tips. Thank you! 🥰
No way paul went from kicks to gardens great stuff paul u a legend
LOVE your diamondbacks original hat! Really enjoy your videos!
Dam the pond turned out really good
I love everything about this video! The pond is beautiful and I absolutely love how excited and happy you were with it!! Great work! 💕
This is by far the most impressive video I've seen on your channel. Dude, I'm about to go install something like this cause it's glorious! Now you gotta put some aquatic plants, the impatient gardener on yt has grown a waterlily in a stock tank and it was a beautiful plant.
Yeah, I need to find an aquatic plant store they’re actually pretty hard to find aside from ordering online.
@@paulplantu normally you can also find aquatic plants in pet/zoo stores where they have fish and aquariums.
Love the finished product. The plants growing out between the rocks is a really nice look. You are absolutely right, the bricks looked terrible! The mountain looks so much better.
I really enjoyed watching this and the pond looks brilliant.
Great set-up, now put some aquatic and floating plants.
WOW! I love it. I love that you used and repurposed things that you had around your yard.
I'll be working on my garden all summer 🌞
The ponds looks great 👍
This is one of the best DIY pond design and build I have seen 👍🏼
You sir just inspired me. Thank you.
AMAZING! The sound of the waterfall is so beautiful!
Brilliant.
Was looking for the right video to show my husband exactly what I wanted. Not only has this video done just that, it also shows us the best way to get it done. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Btw, Ranger is beautiful and his curiosity is adorable. All the way from Australia.
Hahaha, thanks for watching! Hopefully your husband enjoys the work. I had a lot of fun building the pond hopefully it works for y'all!
Your pond is beautiful, and built with such enthusiasm. I am about to build my prefabricated pond, you've given me so many ideas thank you. I hope you get many years of pleasure from it.
I wasn't sure about this but you really came through, you did a fabulous job, it looks and sounds awesome. Enjoy your new pond and the wildlife it brings to your backyard. liked & subbed
That looks great. I’m contemplating a pond for wildlife cert also. Love it!
Love the pond!! I like the way you inserted the small plants!
The pond looks absolutely beautiful. Just a possible tip, instead of having the pot at such a steep angle where the fountain is still visible, what about having it at probably 45 degrees or so and fil it up with the ground pebbles then place some big rocks to hide the fountain. That way it would look more natural and some character... in my opinion
Thank you for sharing. Your DIY was the best in keeping costs down and something I could do by myself.
Oh my goodness you are so funny 😆 I enjoyed every minute of this video!
What a fun project! You're a natural host/presenter with infectious enthusiasm. I can't wait to start my own!!! (I need rocks, though) I'm recently retired so this is the kind of yard reinvention (no more lawn!) I'm super excited about. No dogs though 😜! You'll make a great dad given the patience you demonstrate with those critters. Yeesh. Really enjoy your aesthetic with the rocks and plants - looks gorgeous. Also the waterfall... Yeoww! Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks for sharing, dude!
Also, I appreciate the advice about the pick axe. I too have a ton of roots as I discovered when I planed my front garden. It was really tough then and I'm 20 years older now. I might have to hire some muscle 💪 😅
13 years ago we bought a 170 gallon pre formed pond. We dug a hole for the bottom part like you did and the top part we did brick wall with pavers ( lots of measuring and knocking out parts of pavers to fit ( formal pond like) and then built up for a water fall with brick pavers for a 12 gallon drop preformed for the water fall, hooked up the hose through the brick pavers. We have a submersible pump and fountain kit in the 170 gallon pond and the water fall providers oxygenation and Iris is planted up top
I really dig your vibe. Thanks for inspiring me!
Hey man, love your energy. I'm in south Florida, been considering a nice pond build myself. Thanks for the inspo and keep being awesome.
This was awesome. I was wanting to do a pond but thought it would be too much work until I saw your video. Thank you for posting!
Beautiful! You sure make this look easier than what I’m sure it is!
I really love your pot as a water fall very nice.❤
That looks amazing. I love you're supervisor too. Just in the middle of upgrading my pond so I'll be definitely saving this for some great ideas. Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed watching.
Upgrading? This is the basic of basic can be what are you upgrading grom? Lol
Love how your dog helps.
