Roz,

Just so I'm clear, there IS a rubber liner and the gardener put dirt on it?

If so, and it were me with what I know today, I would empty the sucker and
get the dirt out and not put ANY dirt in it period. I guess the idea was to
grow plants, but most lilies are easier to deal with in containers.

There are still arguments about whether there should be anything other than
liner in the bottom of the pond - I have large rocks because I like the look
- but I can't think of any good reason why dirt would used.

Hope that helps

Joe

I was thrilled when I had a new wildlife pond and bog garden installed a
couple of weeks ago - but not so thrilled to see that the landscape
gardener had lined the pond with the subsoil that he had excavated from
"the hole" - because our subsoil happens to be horrible, yellow clay,
unlike the better, though sandy topsoil that he buried/left in a heap at
the side of the garden :-((.


Roz,

When you say "wildlife pond" are we talking one of those great big
multi-acre things designed for waterfowl and such that doesn't have a rubber
liner?

I wish, Joe! - No - the dimensions are about 8' x 8' x 2.5' :-)
