Default Mike Patterson "Fire on the Water"

Today I presented The Wacky World of Water Gardening at our local MG's
Spring Garden Day, the Keynote speaker from the Wetside of WA showed a
slide of a wonderful pond. Her talk was mainly about structures, so while
this slide was up, she said, "This is a wonderful pond and the owner just
loves to have new people sit in this bench (the structure) right next to
the pond, at which time flames shoot up out of the water. Evidently the
owner is a special effects designer for movies/TV. So there's the experts
you need to talk with Mike. ;o) Obviously it can be done. ~ jan

Still on hold, been working my butt off bringing up a new network.

Was planning to experiment today, but last night things went wrong, so
to the office I go...

I'm planning to use a propane tank & regulator from a gas grill to
start with, have them on hand, so I'm ready to try it if I can just
find the time.

My new pond is still fish-free, though frogs & algae are plentiful.
Haven't yet decided what to put in there, as my first choice (Tilapia)
turned out to require a permit (according to my local Cooperative
Extension Service agent).

Your pond campfire looks good, like a nice place to pull up a chair
and stare at the coals for a while.
