Water Gardening can be quite relaxing, it can also mean a lot of work and up keep. I have found one of the best ways to keep your garden clear is to install a Ultra Violet light filtering system. The light is sealed in a crystal tube and water passes through the fixture that holds the light. A good mechanical system is a must also, Lava rock and course foam type media work well in the filter. I used to have some Koi in my pond but I do well with them and it saddened me greatly to go out and see them on top of the water where I had not removed all the chlorine like I thought I had.

You can grow some beautiful plants in a water garden, and you can have some friendly visitors as well as some predatory ones that like to eat fish. I have some water lily’s that are just great and very pleasing to the eye. Like I said, It’s a lot of work, but the payoff of the beauty is well worth the efforts put forth. Happy Gardening!!!
