For
a smaller pond an old whiskey half barrel does a great job.
The barrel can be lined with PVC liner and tacked down with upholstery tacks
or you can purchase a plastic insert. Barrel gardens are usually only twenty-five to forty gallons with the average cost between $30 and $50. Your barrel will need tabs placed where it get four to six hours of sun. Stocking includes one to two bunches of oxygenating plants, two smaller marginals, and one dwarf lily. Plants perfect for a barrel pond include (but aren’t limited to): cardinal flower, horsetail, arrowhead, lotus, dwarf iris, dwarf umbrella, water hyacinth, and water hawthorn.
