KEWL! Little ponds with no fish are much different than large fish with huge
fish loads! I'm sure your birdie friends enjoy the place to splash and cool
off. Watching birds take a bath has always made me happy I'm human, with a
little more control over where the water goes! G

My pond, I should mention, is also very small - more of a bird splashing
pool so if/when they get nasty I can just take 'em out and hose 'em off.

I also would agree w/the masses here and say 'no' to gravel. What I
did
was
put some flat rocks in - I was able to purchase them at my local
garden
supply place by the pound. I was calling it slate until I learned it
was
just flat cut field stone :-)

That's not a bad idea, using slate I mean, there is a water garden
centre
near me that sells nice big flat pieces that I could arrange into a
simple
flat base.
