Duck Wastewater

Ducks make a lot of mess out of their ponds.  Have you heard of any systems where the refuse water from ducks could somehow be gravity fed into a garden?  I'm trying to plan for as little work as is possible as we get older.

Reminds me of a project Jack Spirko was working on. Here's a couple videos where he describes it. Maybe there's something in there you can use.

OMG!  This is awesome!

Thank you for finding this information.  It is just what we needed.

Many Thanks,

I’m planning something less stacked but similar.
Geese need separate breeding pens to bond and they mate in water. There will be a long, narrow trough pond, gravity fed from my large embankment pond, which drains 24/7 to a small creek. Each pen will have a section of the trough. There will be a drain pipe at the far end of the trough which leads to my future garden site, above but along side the creek. This was all to be gravity fed, basically diverting the embankment drain to have it run across a small hill above the creek. Now, after watching Jack Spirko’s videos above, I’m thinking about adding a solar pump and planting an orchard, berry bushes, food forest type area above the trough pond. Ideally, small water fowl ponds need to be refreshed daily, so there will be plenty of nutritious water to spread around. Now I’m wondering if I could grow water hyacinths in the trough, right where geese could eat them?
