What do you think? Here is an UPDATE on this Wild pond! https://youtu.be/vjs4-jMFiXw?list=PLnw3D5LLGih35gL0J64HsOyOVmmEeA1wW

Joe Mcknight - 7 years ago

It's not wise to release invasive non native plants like water hyacinths into a pond like that. Instead you could have planted some Cardinal flower or native pickerel.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 7 years ago

What do you think? Here is the FIRST VIDEO of this pond https://youtu.be/PGgm7P-wKf8?list=PLnw3D5LLGih35gL0J64HsOyOVmmEeA1wW

gcxred4kat9 - 7 years ago

Dude, plants spread by many means...flooding, seeds etc. You're not being very responsible.

Blue Bowser - 7 years ago

Plants can spread via birds also. I don't think this guy has any idea how invasive species work.

Tanner Schroeder - 7 years ago

Have you made any updates for this video yet? Btw you should load that pond with guppies.

Shaneel Sharma - 7 years ago

put bluegills their or some big bad fish which would eat the leaches

Shaneel Sharma - 7 years ago

did u get bite my any leaches

Daniel Mc Sween - 8 years ago

Just be careful that they don`t spread... happens very easily during floods. Just be careful

robert justus - 8 years ago

Are they regular cannas or cannas specifically to be grown in water?

robert justus - 8 years ago

There's fish in any pond even if the rain drops the eggs there.

Nike King - 8 years ago

robert justus I mean There is ponds without fish but fish spread pretty easily

Daniel Mc Sween - 8 years ago

Joshua Pierre - 8 years ago

those leaches were huge.

Steven Traina - 9 years ago

When are you thinking of updating?

Dylan Coffman - 9 years ago

What part of Western KY do you live?

Patsplattheredstonisist - 9 years ago

yep, just swimmin with leaches. those things give me chills

Joni Solis - 9 years ago

+Dustin's Fish Tanks I think I saw a piece of duckweed when you placed in one of the plants you brought. If duckweed takes off it might shade out some of your underwater plants. Same goes with the water hyacinth. Good luck!

Rebecca Valentine - 9 years ago

Went to go take over the world and got distracted by a butterfly. ;)

chris Bryson - 9 years ago

Get some fish in there!! :)

Accord4tehloss - 9 years ago

The water in that pond is almost as dirty as your tank water....

Kathleen Miller - 9 years ago

Nice experiment Dustin, Think u will have a big harvest come fall, unless some don't do red clay. I'm a red clay neighbor,,, Tenn. Good Luck

Did you ever check back on the plants you put into the pond? Water cabbage and water Hyacinth are bad about taking over, in Alabama they are considered an invasive species. But just curious how everything faired.

FarmingSimulator Guru - 9 years ago

hey are you going to be doing any challenges for us soon?

Kyles Aquariums - 9 years ago

What is it with everybody saying this is illegal, he's on a farm here in Kentucky. I think there are a lot worse things a guy could be doing than play on with his plants in a watering hole for cows, on private property. Lmao get a grip, I think its cool trying to find a way to maybe expand business. I actually found some pretty badass plants in one of our 8 ponds on our property. It was growing submersed so I cleaned it, tried in my 100 gallon an its been thriving for about 3 months.

Kyles Aquariums - 9 years ago

+Kyles Aquariums you're also 500 away from 50,000 sub's! That's insane in itself for a tanker in KY!

Kyles Aquariums - 9 years ago

Playing with plants***

Ryan Helfrick - 9 years ago

Leaches and cream yo!

lizzyanthus1 - 9 years ago

Thanks for a cool video outdoors! Love the pond and the idea to grow some plants in it. If I had a pond I'd definitely try it too! Anyhow, will be looking forward to see the results of this experiment, for sure.

Matt Scotto - 9 years ago

Always putting up dope videos

Formal Tuna - 9 years ago

I wonder what all the leeches are feeding on. And how they got there in the first place

LordPine - 9 years ago

aaaand thats how to give a pond duckweed.

CL0WN FAC3 - 9 years ago

Can't wait to see the update video.

mikez104 - 9 years ago

Cool idea. I can't wait to see how they come out. You will have to do a few status updates through the summer. 10 bucks if you swim across! Lol you got some creepy leaches in that pond!

I can't wait to see the results man! Very excited

Leeches!! Pond must burn!!lol

Ivory Queen - 9 years ago

Cool idea.. loved the video... until the leeches.. lol.

ADU Aquascaping - 9 years ago

No floating on a tube? LOL. So what I saw could be taro? I think our State intentionally planted it or maybe it is some native cousin because where I go the water is protected, so I can't imagine they would do that. I also collected some plant that looks a lot like Limnophila, but its emersed growth is way weird. Awesome video Dustin, we all need more outside adventures now that it is heating up. My kind of video. Peace!

zs k - 9 years ago

+ADU Aquascaping I wonder if making DIY root tabs with Urea would work good.

J B - 9 years ago

I love that you are planting taro out there. Lemme hook you up. Call it kalo. (Kah-low). It will get you points in hawaii.
Leeches look spooky.

William Simpson - 9 years ago

Your viewers need t be very careful. In South Carolina, for example, merely possessing water hyacinth and any number of invasive species is illegal and subject to significant fines. If someone in this state did what you just did, private pond or not, they would be in significant legal trouble. I have no idea what the laws in Kentucky are so maybe you are safe. Just be very careful!

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+William Simpson GREAT CALL. Thanks

FortWayne Fishtanks - 9 years ago

How deep is it?? Of its deep enough to not overfreeze I would throw some hybrid bluegills in there for leech control, they hardly ever breed (they are 95% males), and they have large mouths to take care of larger prey like leeches.

jay dee - 9 years ago

Dustin your videos are always great. I enjoy and wait to see them every Sunday bro. Keep it up laaater!

mothballjim - 9 years ago

Great video, so excited for the update!!

Skiddols - 9 years ago

Flipflops walking around in the pond reminds me of when I was a kid. Yet I still find myself doing it haha.

Anthony Lujano - 9 years ago

Sick cant wait to see what happens.

Johny's reef tank - 9 years ago

What a stunning place!

Justin Viveiros - 9 years ago

This is a cool expirament man. Can't wait to see the results!

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Justin Viveiros yeah- we shall see. Thanks!

firebirdnewt - 9 years ago

Planting non native species in a pond. .... seriously?

firebirdnewt - 9 years ago

Ok ....

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+firebirdnewt its a man made farm pond....yes seriously.

thegreatga - 9 years ago

Urea fertilizer is a stable nitrogen. Its used as the most common fertilizer and looks like white pellets that cool water when mixed.

Sweet 666 - 9 years ago

Bear Grylls ain't got nothing on you buddy ;)

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Louise Gallacher haha, just wait :) ( i wish i could show you my cut up ankle )

Joe - 9 years ago

Anyone see that spider? I would have been like nope lol. Was that already built. Or did nature build that pond? If that makes sense

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+buzz light My wife grandpa dug it a long time ago, then it was expanded recently.

Jason Lang - 9 years ago

Hey Dustin I am 99% sure there are fish if there was not what do the leaches eat?

Jason Lang - 9 years ago

True

James Steven - 9 years ago

Frogs

Simen André - 9 years ago

Oh maan i hate leaches. They make my whole body shriver in fear lol. Great video as always though!

robert justus - 8 years ago

They are good to use for bruises and Black eyes as well.

Simen André - 9 years ago

+Dustin's Fish Tanks oh god.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Simen André try looking down and seeing them sucking on your ankles?

Erdong Chen - 9 years ago

Might wanna take this one down man. What you're doing is illegal in Kentucky

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Erdong Chen It's private property on a pond at my inlaws (not connected to anything)

9929kingfish - 9 years ago

Not illegal on private property

Xan Beerboy - 9 years ago

Damn I love ponds. Also you and Joey posted a video about ponds. Guess its my lucky day :)

Ruben - 9 years ago

Great looking lake Dustin but I don't like the leeches. You can add fish that are bigger the the leeches and they will eat the leeches.
I wouldn't be wearing flip flops if there snakes around there.

Rico Suave - 9 years ago

throw some guppies in the pond

Rico Suave - 9 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah you can use mosquito fish or other native fish if you like to survive over the winter.

Rico Suave - 9 years ago

+wonderboy2402 well thats hopefully he will cross that bridge when or if he comes up to it...but he deff said he was in western ky but it might be close enough to be tenn idk but he can still restock it every year for pretty cheap

wonderboy2402 - 9 years ago

+Rico Suave Sure but you must net them before the end of fall and certainly during winter. This is in Tennessee as the video shows. I am sure you could get away with year round guppies in Florida or the like.

Rico Suave - 9 years ago

+wonderboy2402 i had some guppies and platys survive some very frigid 50degree water this past week due to some reall heavy rain storms

wonderboy2402 - 9 years ago

They will all be dead come fall. But i did put guppies and sailfin live bearers in my small water garden over summer. Had tons by the end of summer.

rebeljoe williams - 9 years ago

this was a awesome vid loved it keep us posted on this so we see how they do

Ryan O'Hanlon - 9 years ago

Please be carful with exotics. In the south (in my case Texas) plants like hyacinth, water lettuce, and salvinia are now illegal to posses and buy due to their introduction in the wild from the hobby. I've also seen some lakes that are beginning to have tarro everywhere.

live free or die - 7 years ago

A lot of people keep native fish and when they get too big they release them after they have lived in ur home aquarium and that is illegal unless you release them into a private pond

live free or die - 7 years ago

It's not illegal because it's a private pond

PseudoAccurate - 9 years ago

+Ryan O'Hanlon

Yeah, I have to agree. There is also risk of these plants going to seed, in which case it doesn't matter if they survive the winter.

Agr414 - 9 years ago

Water lettuce and water hyacinth are actually illegal in Wisconsin since May 1. According to WI DNR there has been evidence of these plants surviving the winter, which is insane because WI gets very cold.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Tim Van Auken thank you. This is a man made pond in a cow field, in the middle of 150 acres of privately held farm land....and it will die if left over the winter.

Tim Van Auken - 9 years ago

Ryan, no issue in the midwest as non of these exotics make it over the winter.

Griffin Booher - 9 years ago

Yeah I was gonna say this may be illegal...be careful dude.

Buzz Lightyear - 9 years ago

+Ryan O'Hanlon Yeah, but I think it should be fine. It's a small pond so it's easy to control if something happens.

Gavin's Aquariums - 9 years ago

That was great!

SUG1MARA Ishamura - 9 years ago

Tank on !

Keith's Planted Aquariums - 9 years ago

Awesome video Dustin!! Summer is the best time to do these and it is a great excuse to get out of the house :)

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+Keith's Planted Aquariums thanks, I figure i have the plants...why not?

SUG1MARA Ishamura - 9 years ago

Good day Dustin I want to thank you for posting these vids dog. I don't have cable and you are the most consistent guy I see on anything with cool info never stop. Love you brah thanks.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

+bernardo hernandez Hell yeah! its been fun ripping the videos off recently. (more content with less editing...more fun for me)
....glad you enjoy them- Now if you'll excuse me, I have a new flowering plant in my pond to go play with...
