Hey all
I recently bought a house and am wanting to raise a few muscovy ducks. I have a 4'x6' pondd kit that goes 2ft deep, that I would like to use for my ducks. I know they dirty the water rather fast. I don't want to change the water every week, so I'm wanting to use floating pots with vegtables to keep the pond clean. Any ideas on what I can grow in the pond that the ducks won't eat?
 
First, let me welcome you to the forum! This is a great forum with great people and a lot of great information.

Now, the ducks....my neighbor used to raise ducks, and they DO make a short stay of clean water; it doesn't take long. I don't know if you will be able to keep that volume of water clean from their mess with just plants. Perhaps someone who actually raises ducks may be able to give you better guidance.

Oh well, nice to have you aboard.
