Anybody know how to make an inexpensive pre-filter for a pump? What if I
took a peice of pvc pipe and drilled some holes in it and wrapped foam
around it? I don't want to pay $150 for a filter, especially since I
want my veggie pond to get the nutrients. I just want to keep out things
like mud, acorns etc.

Thanks

Mike;
Take a look at this page for ideas:

I built one of these and it works great. I used pea gravel that I
bought at Lowes instead of Lava rock.
