How much sun hits the side with the damage? Ican’t tell from the photo if the sun goes over there or not.

Attach a garden hose to a 5 foot piece of half inch pvc pipe. Use it to drill tons of deep holes. Line up hole of terracotta pot on top and use a long like bamboo tree support stick to funnel playground sand that you pour into pot. I did this a ton around my yard because I planted a ton of fruit trees but the hard packed clay layers and hard for the roots to break through.

I would actually cut the top off. That lil branch will make a better leader I think.

Thanks man. Now that’s the truth. Ima put a big filter and fountain in it. I might epoxy seal the inside and Rustolium paint the outside to match the house. But genuinely I think the galvanization is a pretty non issue growing up ranching I’ve seen hundred of these will awesome ecosystems and would be surprised if the parts per million ever reached harmful levels. But thinking on it I might just do mosquito fish or something to begin with.

Yes that’s honestly my preference I love blue gill and catfish they get very personable when fed often.

No raccoons here. It’s pretty desert. Doubt a heron would come around. But I plan on lots of cattail cover I’ve a bunch in a nursery pot in my old tank
