A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Landscape trials and triumphs Water Gardens I had a pond and didn't even know it

I finally got into the wooded area a bit today. Imagine my suprise to find a "half barrel" sized plastic tub sitting there full of water. There was also a decomposing picnic bench, a palet, a partial roll of wire fencing and it looks like maybe some antique car body parts. You don't think someone was using that area as a dump over the last two years do you? Yeah that's what I think.

Well I got the picnic table out of there and that's a start. I'll have to take the 5 gallon bucket down there and empty that plastic tub. Then I'll turn it upside down until I figure out where I might want to use it. Isn't that cool to have it already in the area where I plan to have my pond, stream, bog area. I love this place. It just seems to have been made for me.

Oh TK--it all sounds so wonderful--I am glad you found it. you deserve such a place!!!

I totally agree with Carol.....you deserve it Tammy! I can't wait to hear more and see pictures as you get things going.

I'm not at all sure I can get a picture underneath the trees. But I'll give it a shot. It's perfect for the stream, pond, bog I think. Wait until you see.

Great news Tammy.

Can you get a scrap place to come pick up the metal and parts. Usually they'll dig it out themselves if you give it to them for free.

I don't even know if there is a scrap place around here lol. I'll have to see what I can find. Maybe my neighbor will know.
