How to keep fish alive in a water garden?

I bought a small fountain and I have 3 plants in it with 3 tad poles and 2 fish. I have a Pix if want to send me a message. I am worried that the water is not good water for my fish. My Fiance thinks that the plants are too much dirt for a small fountain or my water garden is needing an oxygen pump to keep the Fish alive. My mom has a similar larger scale water garden with a Fountain, plants and fish the only difference is she has well water and her watergarden is much larger than mine. So do I need an oxygen pump plus my fountain? Should I take the plants out? Or do you think I need to buy bottled water to put in my fountain; or atleast buy the chemical that takes the floride and chlorine out of the water? Just put plants and fish in my tank last night. Came home from work today my trickler got clogged up with dirt from my plants and somehow my water was dripping out. It wasn’t empty when I got home today but the water level was low. And guess what? I killed 2 tad poles and 2 fish. Maybe I should just stick to plants I can keep them alive. Then I don’t have to be responsible for anything elses death. Wish I could post a pix here, there is one on my 360 page if you want to see what I am working with.

Can I grow a vegetable garden in sandy soil?

Filed under General Gardening

I have a nice boxed off area that used to have a hot tub from a previous house owner. I would love to plant a garden, but after tilling the soil I noticed that it is kind of sandy. I live in Ohio. I plan on growing (hopefully) Tomatoes, Japs, Cucumber, Romaine, Bell Pepper, Okra, Squash, Strawberries, Watermelon, Onions, Carrots and Green Beans. Will these plants grow in sandy soil?
