While the liner is pulled aside I decided to reshape the pond a little,
making it deeper but with a smaller circumference. The shelves that were
broad for growing plants have been narrowed drastically and will not be as
deep. There will be one low end where the mulm can collect to be
shop-vacuumed out when cleaned. Or I can drop the 1200gph pump in said spot
to remove the mulm between cleanings. My veggies love the stuff. :-)) The
whole area around the pond will be re-landscaped and planted with more
perennial flowers and less shrubby plants the block the view. I'm looking
forward to doing all this work as our summer project. This pond will be
home to the 5 or 6 best looking of our diamond-scale koi.
