As a complete novice to ponds any info on raised garden ponds would be
greatful.I have approx 7ftx6ft of ground to play with.
Q; How deep do I go into the ground.

## Go at least 12 to 18" below the frost line where you live.

Q;How high do I raise the pond.

## As high as you find appealing. Some people like them at seat height so
they can sit on the edge and watch the fish.

Q;What type of set up will I need.

## Have you Googled ponds? There is more to read then you can imagine.
You will need adequate filtration for the size of your pond and the number
of fish you decide to keep.

Q;Gold fish how many could I keep comfortably.

## See above.

Q;Or how many if I were to go for koi instead.

## Koi can get 3' long so you need at least a 1000 gallon pond to keep only
a few.

Q;Final question how much do you think it would cost!

## I'm in the USA so can't even guess..... :-)
