Pond water is wonderful for plants, we have two pools and partially change the water two to three times a season in both of them. The water is pumped from one pool and is allowed to flow around the Rhodo's in one part of the garden and the water is pumped from the other pool and allowed to flow into one or other of the other beds, we just move the ends of the hoses to around. Both the fish and the garden benefit from this. This water is also great for hanging baskets and containers as well.

Also, if you have an aquarium, water from there is quite beneficial. I do weekly water changes, so I'm able to put about three or four gallons of fishy water on my plants. I like to spread it around to different areas. I even toss it on in the winter, too.

I suppose pond water is basically fish manure tea, huh? :-) It sounds like another good reason to have a pond. I'd like one, but DW isn't crazy about it and I want to wait until the grandkids are big enough so it wouldn't be a danger to them.

I have a small pond in the yard that provides nutrient rich water for my plants.
One year when my grandaughter was 18 months old, she walked right into the pond like it was solid ground. She got quite a shock from dropping so fast and cold water splashing all around. Lucky I was standing right there watching the fish with her.
I've had a dog walk into it too just like she did and with the same shock affect.
