We live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. This is a subtropical climate so naturally we have a swimming pool. In April 2011 we decided to turn it into a natural swimming pond. That means no more chlorine or other chemicals! Instead we will have plants, insects, frogs and fish to swim with!
Well that's the plan. This blog will record what happens - success or failure. I know I am taking a risk making this public but this site will record our progress for our own reflection as well as allowing comment and assistance from our friends. So here goes …

one of the first plants in our swim pond
Great headline photo (I wish I had taken it!).... but its in the "old" pool right?

ReplyDeleteThe photo was taken with my iPad.
