OK, you're 3 months in. How's the duckponics working? I'd love to find a less smelly pond option for our 3 ducks... right now, if I don't dump the baby pool every other day it reeks.

We do have a natural creek behind our house, but I can't come up with a way to let them roam freely but still be relatively safe from predators.

Thanks!

The pond has been in place for awhile but the ducks were only allowed in it on Sunday. I don't think I'll be able to give a fair assessment of the biofilter until I have a lot more plants. They ate a lot of the floating plants before I properly blocked the area off and a lot of my other plants died back to their roots upon transplantation. I believe they'll come up next year without an issue as I can see the roots are still healthy. SO, next year with more plants I'll see how it really works. Right now I have such a large water mass that it isn't that dirty with 8 ducks in it.

What an awesome setup. and what a cute lil helper.

It was so much work and way more money than I planned but seeing the ducks this happy makes it all rather worth it. Even better now that I have the biofilter properly blocked so don't have to go duck catching at night. lol
