    From the thumbnail, I thought there was a bench there. Something about the planter, I think.

      couple beams to sit on and watch bees visit. the beams and the planter shade half the pond to help keep the temp down. so now i have a couple toads hanging out. the planter bottom slopes so water runs off the sides instead of into the pond. but i didnt get enough sand an rock in the bottom layer of it. so the soil in the planters been too wet for most things this season.

    You might want to get a cheap solar pump or something to keep that water moving around. It’s going to get stagnant real quick, get some algae blooms, and be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

      theres a little one in the back that creats a dorky waterfall to keep the water circulating. so far the duckweeds kept evaporation down and the toads keep the misquitoes in check.
