We tend
to think of garden ponds as
places of beauty, where we can
admire goldfish cruising under
lush flowering waterlilies or
listen to the croaking of frogs.
But ponds can also be highly
productive places in the garden.
Many ancient civilizations
realised the great fertility
associated with aquatic environments.
The most famous of these are
the paddy fields of South East
Asia or floating gardens of
Mexico. |
