So I will be getting 22 little ducks and 7 geese end of April. We will be digging a huge pond however that will most likely not happen till end of June, so I was planning on using plastic kiddy pools in the meanwhile. I heard on this forum that the dirty water in the pools is great for gardens, which is awesome as I plan on having a 1 acre garden. So I wanted your opinions.
Will it work to drill a hole it the bottom of the side of the kiddy-pool and glue a hose connector. Has anyone done this? I want to avoid dumping pools all over the lawn right beside so there won't be any mud festivals for the ducks.
Does anyone have a better idea on how to get the water out of the kiddy pool and into barrels.
I will transport the barrels to the garden via riding dump-trailer buggy thing my husband found at the auction.
As well, will the duck poo hurt guinea hens that I may get for the garden bug control? If so I will not get the guineas, as my husband is all excited to be able to have ducks.
Also, are there any cons to this idea that I am not seeing. And tips?
Thanks-all
