Graham did a solid effort with the digging
And I've not heard the last of it either 😂
@@DerbyKoi niki helped me for one video thats going out in a week or so and im the same 😀
😂 I'll look forward to watching it
❤this is going to be awesome Andy.. thanks 4sharing bro
Thanks Gee, can't wait to get it working 👍🏻
Should be a great addition the ponds filtration Andy, look forward to seeing how it works out for you… 👍🏼
And well done to Graham and Bizley, who did all the dirty work… 😂👍🏼
He did a good job, and he won't let me forget it either, and hopefully, it will work the way I want it too🤞
@@DerbyKoi hHaHa, I’m sure he won’t. I’m sure it’ll work just as you want it to….. 🤞🏼
Thanks Andy 👍🏻
Very interesting I made my veg filter out of 4x3 inch wood posts cut 4ftx2ft this is 2ft6” deep and 4” above the back of the pond on top of flags.
Its stepped inside to allow different plants to be placed in it.
It has a cheap liner cost £15.
A 1.5” pipe comes from the pond down to the bottom 6” of 20mm pea gravel covers the bottom water rising through the gravel back to the top a 2” pipe returns the water to the pond.
So basically, gravity keeps the water moving.
I have water lettuce/ blue Iris/water chestnut/baby tears/water cress all in it.
One thing I do is cover the return pipe with a bit of mosquito mesh a bit of wire holding it on which I take off and clean when needed.
Its also simple to cover up in the winter.
Baby tears will spread and spread never known anything to grow so quick.
Thanks Alan it sounds like you've got it running just how you want it to hopefully i can get mine the way I want it 🤞
Looking good
Thanks Daz 👍🏻
That veg filter is gonna be awesome. I'm trying to incorporate plants into mine this year. See what I come up with 👍
Be interesting to see what you come up with 🤔
Its surprising mate when u start taking the soil out. Good to see Graham on the tools 😂
Had to make him a coffee after.. he only did 2hrs.. outrageous 😂
I don't believe that 😂😂
😬
good compost that was taken out. That will be really good for the garden. Cracking job on shaping/digging out the hole. Give some of the soil to your neighbours..bet they would love it. Covers still on ?? when will you take them off..mine been off now for a week or so.
I've stored a bit for summer plant baskets, it was much better soil than expected.
Cheers mate subs have exploded and I passed my granddaughter.She says I'm showing off😂😊 🐟
Share some of your new subs lol
I use candyfloss and fairy dust pal it seems to do the job 👍🏼
I remember you saying you buy it in bulk 😂
Hi Andy don't get the woven liner nothing sticks to it but as far as I'm aware any rubber liner should be OK with ob1 👍👍🚀🚀
Thanks dave, I'll probably go with the epdm type, Graham said use shopping bags, we've got hundreds of the bloody things 😂
Didn't you work hard😂 good luck with the liner. Next time I see you i will let you get a word in. 😂😂 🐟
Not easy supervising 😂. Chatted so much, forget to give you a DK mug, I'll sort it next time we meet. Hope you get some subscribers, let me know when you beat your grand daughter lol
I must say that Graham did a great job in digging out the hole for the new veg garden. Hopefully you'll find the liner you need and let Graham supervise the installation just like you supervised the digging. 🤣🤣🤣
I treated him to coffee and biscuits (two lol) he deserved it 😂
Looking good Andy, and well done to Paul and Gary for supporting the community 😊 I have subbed to Gary's channel
Thanks mate, I really appreciate all the help, advice and support I've received. Great community 👏
An exciting start to your veggie filter! Great to see Graham in the video too! 👋
Am already subscribed to Gary’s channel 👍👍 Love how the koi community is always helping each other out! 💯💕
Excited to see how it affects water quality, Graham's not keen to be on camera lol, but he was pampered for all the help 😊
Great work Graham, Andy well supervised Mate , quality control is really important 👍🤣
Cost me a bloody fortune in treats. Would have been cheaper to hire a digger 😂
If you have discovered small worms in your tap water.
Or your fish have been catching things.
The worms that have been reported to have been found in tap water are midge larvae, flatworms, roundworms (otherwise known as nematodes), and rotifers.
The typical size of parasitic worms or helmiths, such as flukes, tapeworms, hookworms, ascris, pinworms, trichina worms, and filaria worms is 30-50 microns in diameter. Nematodes have long, cylindrical bodies which have no internal segments. Nematodes in fresh water and in the soil are microscopic. Some can be up to 1 inch long and others are microscopic.
They can enter the water supply via reservoirs, wells, streams, rivers or lakes.
The usual response to this problem has been one of increased reactive maintenance routines by the water company. This typically involves considerable cleaning and disinfection of the supply zone and increased chlorination of the water for a period of time after the event. This often gives rise to frequent complaints about the resulting taste and odour. It should also be noted that chlorine and bleach can be totally ineffective against blood worms in particular.
Worms in tap water have also been known to impart objectionable tastes and odours to water.
Although totally undesirable, it is generally accepted that these are completely harmless and they have been studied for whether they are carriers of the type of disease-bearing bacteria found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals.
Thanks Alan that's very interesting to know. I appreciate it 👍
Looking forward to seeing the progress, and interesting to see how it helps water quality
Thanks David 👍🏻
I am envous of where you are at, everything looking so nice and well kept. A mature garden and pond. I love a veg filter great way to balance the eco system. Just be careful you don't have flow dead spots to harbour bacteria. I've found before I've had dead matter collect and rot and cause issues. 🎉🎉
Cheers mate, and thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye on it. Interested to see how it affects water quality this year 👍🏻
Great start mate, roll on the better weather 👍
Thanks mate 👍🏻
You know me and the veg filters mate best addon you can put on a Koi pond get the green stuff growing in there it helps the water quality no end. Have a good weekend Mate
I know you recommended a veg filter, and have seen how it improved your water quality
👍
Tell graham he did a great job 😊. I've always used a epdm liner, but can't tell you which sealant would be best. Bizley looked like he had fun though 😂
Bout time he did some work 🤣. Bizley definitely had a fun time that's for sure
I'm considering adding a vegetable filter this year so I'll be watching with interest, can't help with sealant advice sorry. Never used it.
And well done grayham, you deserve some beers 🍻
Thanks mate, hopefully I'll get more done soon. Bloody weather 😬
Only difference between ob1 and ct1 is the name, pu18 is far better than both of them
Thanks mate, never heard of pu18, I'll have a look into it. Much appreciated 👍🏻
@DerbyKoi much cheaper, too
Sorry not seen this video sooner, in a nutshell I have been running my 10k gallon 8x5meter koi pond here in Italy filtered exclysively through two "veggie filters", 5x2 meters each, here is a link to how the pond looked end of last summer th-cam.com/video/8PSzMqhX6ko/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Bb582d6A0Wm23vhO
Uploading now a video how it is looking today, if you look on my channel there is a slideshow on jow I built it. Each veggie filter has underlay and EDPM liner with a bottom drain on which there are plastic pallets covered by 3 layers of mesh and a series of 2" slitted pipes from the pumps on top of which is about a foot deep pea gravel with all the plants. This way the water goes first to the roots and then filters up through tge gravel to then overflow back in the pond. The pallets beneath everything allow for any sludge to be drained away from the bottom. It might be "overengineered", kind of cobbled together various different ways of making a veggie filter but it seems to work ok. I feed in the summer at least 600g a day of high protein growth and check the values of ammonia and nitrites with Hanna checkers and levels always very low, nitrates barely readable on liquid tests. Hope it helps, ciao from Italy
Hi Paul, I've only just seen this comment it's a very interesting design on the veg filter, and your koi look great with lovely clear water, but I'm really jealous of those views. Wow 👌 Stay safe Andy 👍
