Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Raft gardening on my ponds

I want to try raft gardening this year, I have been studying it for 4 years now and am ready to venture into it now. My first simple raft design that I came up with this morning based on materials that I have loads of and ease of construction.






This is the rough first prototype. I still need to rout some holes for the planters into the plastic panels and attach the end boards more securely. So far I have about 15 minutes into the construction and no cost. I have several thousand feet of this plastic from old fence on my farm that I hate and I have hundreds of dead slightly punky white fir logs that are not really any good for anything to use. I could make dozens of these raft setups quickly, easily and with no investment other than a little time. It will take some experimenting to get everything I want to grow growing but I am hopeful that I will be able grow a fair bit of produce on my ponds. Going to start on my bass pond as they should be less likely to eat dangling roots from the rafts.

Any thoughts?

This I gotta see. I’m stoked.
