We started this discussion in my thread requesting info about backyard permaculture. It was suggested that I use my little hot tub for a fish pond, since we're not using it as a hot tub.
So, here's the idea.
I have a little square hot tub. I checked, and it's about 5X5 feet, with a 2X2 or so deep section that's maybe four feet deep, and the rest being about two feet deep. I'm including pictures.
The suggestion was that, instead of having an energy-devouring, heated hot tub (which we don't use, breeds mosquitos, and is generally a pain in my rear), we try putting little fish into it and make it into a part of our backyard ecosystem. We're going for permaculture ideas - a yard we don't have to maintain other than a few prunings or chop-and-drop mulchings and so on, and a place that makes lots of food for the family.
I don't even know where to start, although I'm learning. Here's the hot tub picture.
