Home Water Gardening

You know when it comes to home water gardening, I'm a huge fan.   On the farm, I had 4 ponds, ranging in size from a few gallons to one big one several  hundred feet long.  I love water enough that I moved to an island so I could live on a water garden. :-)  And even though I moved several times and lived in town houses I still had my small portable water garden that moved along with me.

Here are some hints and tips on how to succeed with growing great plants and building great ponds.  And yes, i'ts a work in progress (but aren't we all). :-)

5 Reasons Your Question Didn't Get Answered



1) You posted anonymously without an email. I don't use your email other than to send you updates and answers so if I can't do that - why would I answer your question or ask my readers to help as well. It would be like us talking in the dark. Also, I sometimes move quesstions to other pages so if you want the answer, let us tell you where it is.

2) You didn't give us enough information. "Why did my plant die?" isn't enough info for us. You have to tell us the where, how, what, when of it all. What were you doing or not so we can help you.

3) The question has been answered before (see search box above). Hey - if you don't want to spend time reading the articles and answers we've already done - why would I ask my other readers to repeat themselves.

4) Questions with relevant pictures if possible get answered first.

5) Thank the volunteer or person who answers your question.

Last but Not Least


There is no timeline here - sometimes it takes a while to get questions answered because volunteers are doing it and there is no guarantee yours will be

Answers will be in the comments sections below the questions.
