How do I build a water garden for wildlife (not a pond) just a damp area with ferns etc to attract dragonflies - waterfall garden fountain
I want the area to be attractive and me quietly to the others and also for wildlife. The area that I have in mind and ferns, arum lilies and iris. I have a vision of stones and water, but not with fountains and waterfalls. Something that is aware of the costs that would be great! The area is about 2m x 3m, with plants mentioned above, placed on the board. All ideas on how to deal with this situation?
Thanks for any help offered.

What do you think of a bog garden. I built some of them, and they are easier and cheaper to make. They are typically designed in soft coating to keep flooding the pool area.
Instead of going into detail, I suggest you go to the forum ....

PS - also attract mosquitoes keep in mind.

I do not know how a "water garden" from a different pond. "
A flat area with stones may not be sufficient to the dragonfly larvae, which are fully aquatic animals, until they are adults support them. "Only a little water, not eating enough" to them, can be too hot, and often (three of which are fatal evaporated) for them.
You can make a pond with no waterfalls or fountains, or even bombs.
I still had water during the last 16 years, the pond (also moved me to) my new home.
I have a hole of about 2.3 meters deep and 6.7 meters long and 4 meters wide. Established in the lining of the pond (which is expensive. It will cost about $ 100 ... but it will take a long time - I am not 16 years and counting. You fly, and survived after they moved)
If you plan, design platform, "Young, who tends toward the edge, not the environment, the creation of a pot or two plants. They want the" floating "(iris, water hyacinth water lettuceSave to e) and some oxygenators - Purchase of a garden - or online. You can spend as little as $ 10 for the right plants. Li's only cost - but if you select a Hardy, you will never buy a new one)
Add a little minnow bait. They are usually about a dozen $ 1.20. when you see the bait shop nearby, to see if you can get something? They take to eat a mosquito larvae, and add the overall efficiency of the equilibrium of the lagoon. I have learned that adding fish bait should be conducted in the spring while the water is still cold to be - as bait to keep their businesses small fish in water of 58 degrees - and to change the sites till June before the extinction of the temperature no matter how slowly you try to adjust for.
But in the end - adding plants and fish life, plants, and perhaps something about this part of the shadow of the pond (which help algae growth). There are fish and plant safe products on the water with the help of algae and clean (Algaefix, Pondzyme), but in a few months, the pond must be balanced and take care of themselves.
, and dragonflies are the short term. Guaranteed.
