My friend, John Caudill, gave me a large elephant ear to add to the pond. When I realized that it would grow best in constant water, I found a water-permeable pot that was approximately the same diameter as the upper pond. I used the fountain connectors for the second pump to filter water into a basin in which the Elephant Ear sat.
When I returned to the project yesterday, May 1, 2018 I needed to remove the pot with the elephant ear. As I lifted the pot, a beautiful ring popped off of the top of the pot. Everything below the soil was destroyed from being submerged in water for so long.
I save the ring and grabbed a bin to shovel this great soil into.
Once I get all of the soil from that pot into the second bin, I removed the original Bin by stripping the pond liner off of it.
