I have what the previous owner called a Zen pond in the back yard. Shallow with a small fountain that circulates the water. Unfortunately, the previous owner planted a bougainvillea close to it, so once a week, especially after a medium wind, I get leaves/blossoms in there that I have to net out. If I forget the once a week chlorine tablets, I get frog eggs in there, which I also have to net out. Found a dead frog and baby snake in there, too, along with those small "crunchy" bugs (don't know what they are). Nice feature, but a pain in the rear to maintain.
