Garden Pond – Lake Crystal Minnesota

Urban Agriculture done right.

The use of the pond to feed the garden turned this typical yard into a relaxing retreat and increased the value of the property.

Location

Lake Crystal, Minnesota.

Feeding Fish

When water temps are at their warmest, the fish are constantly feeding.

Bog Benefits

Mosquitoes need calm flat water to lay their eggs. The combination of moving water and fish to consume the mosquito larvae means this pond is not a home to mosquitoes. Mosquito predators like dragonfly, however, thrive in the bog area.

Aquaponic Grow Beds

Using the nutrients from the pond to feed aquaponic grow beds helps grow healthy lettuce and broccoli.

Nutritional power

Koi are exceptional fish for giving high nutritional output for a lush green garden.
