I have a small creek bed that Im work’g on to run dowhill also deepen & widen’d. The rain water runs off of my neighbor’s property & onto mine, & floods our road to where my neighbors cant get out. So I have to do something.
My 3 ideas all include a retain’g pond, a re~circulation system w/ a pump, pvc, a spout & river rock. Only 2 of them would use a drip system.
My neighbor bought the expensive black hoses w/ the holes in them for her drip system & they’re alreay dry~rot’g from the heat here (100 ~ 130). Granted it doesnt rain here in Arizona, but yet they r dry~rotting.
So which would b better to use~ Garden Hoses ~the real heavy stuff or the 1 Black Hose that’s really tiny w/ a bubbler on the end (dont forget the dirt here isnt Ur every day stuff. It gets heavy & hardens to cement type substance. I already broke a shovel here), or the other Black Hose that’s thick & full of holes?

I have a 1200 gal water garden and i have done a 40% water change three times in the last 30 days to rid some of the phosphate…to no avail. The levels are way too high still, no plants will grow and i only have about 15-20 fish in there. 3 largest being about 8 inches, all others are their babies and are about 3 inches long. I can’t put the phos-x media bags in my filter because i have a cannister filter that’s in the ground, no media bag will fit in there…i can’t figure where this is coming from. I have tap water that is treated when put in the garden…..anyone know what i can do or if there is a liquid product i can use to combat this? any help would be appreciated..thanks, April
It’s not possible that it would be lawn fert….don’t use any. Not possible for it to be a problem with neighbors, i live in the country……have done lots of water changes to remove fish waste etc….any other suggestions?
