ckreef Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 3 years ago I put two Iris plants in my garden pond. Neither bloomed, one died. Year 2, the one left perked back up but no flowers. Finally year 3 we have our first bloom to welcome the new WFO. Look carefully you can see the goldfish in the background. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amusedtodeath Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Love your pond. How hard is the upkeep? My wife transplanted a bunch of day lilies next to a part of our drive, and unexpectedly up popped a bunch of those irises in that same bed. Really pretty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a month or so (yea I'm lazy) clean the filter. Once or twice a month I'll drop a garden hose in there and let it overflow for an hour or so giving it a water change. Feed the goldfish or not you can't kill them if you tried. That's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That post of yours where you ran your KK for many cooks without cleaning it out made sure I don't fuss about getting all the ash out after every cook.
