Alternative water features
A water feature with no standing water makes a great alternative to a pond if you don鈥檛 have much room, you鈥檝e little time for pond maintenance or there are young children around and a pond is impractical on safety grounds.
A wall fountain, pebble pool or simply a large decorative jar of water, with a small pump inside rippling the water surface, have all the benefits of a water feature without all the hard work of maintaining a pond.
With this type of feature, the same water is endlessly recycled using a pump (so it will need a power supply). As there isn鈥檛 a home for plants or animals, you can use water gardening chemicals to keep the water clear.
