I'm new to this pond thing. I bought a house in Toledo, Ohio and pulled out a huge bush in the front yard and decided to make a pond in that area. It turned out great but I have no plants in it. I have no idea where to buy and what lives in this area. I also just dug another pond in the back yard but it is 2 preformed liners. The front yard pond is clean and clear but the back is green. I have added pumps w/ fountains, pond salt and pond bacteria to both ponds. The front is in shade and the back is full sun till after 3pm. But I know I need plants to keep it clean and healthy for fish. I'm looking for cheap or free starter plants for my pond. I'm on a budget and won't have any extra money for about 2 weeks. Thank you in advance for any help.
