I'm going to have to wait till June . Dry season. I don't have time to
wait for a season , the pond is done except for the water fall . I do
plan to take it slow on plants. The plumbing and waterfall must be
finnish this year. My garage has the material for the waterfall. The
garage needs to be clean out or I'm in big trouble. I have professor
friends who are more help and more connected then the local pond
society . When I'm ready I've got a friend who is a expert on local
native plants. I found the local pond society to be of little help. Too
many people settle into their retirement years. The one's who could
help, got tired of doing all the work. He Refuses to do anymore work to
help out with someone ponds. Their is large pond society south of me.
Plus I'm tired of empty the pond every time we get a 1" to 2" of rain
in short amount time. If all I get done this year is the plumbing and
water fall I will be happy.
