The pickax is what we used as our
ground is full of rocks, rocks and more
rocks.

Finally DH decided to make the pond
deeper by building up the sides.
He started stripping turf by the side
fence line and now I have roses and butterlfy
bushes planted there.

The sides were built up with turf,
about one foot high and one foot wide) the liner
pulled up and over it.

It protects the pond from run off and gives
a nice place for the dogs to lay down (we
covered some of the liner with turf), the kids
sit on it and tangle their feet in the water. Other areas are covered
with rocks.
