yes, it is 4 feet deep. I dont clean the bottom. there is nothing on the bottom
except some gravel the koi have removed from the lily pot. I can see the gravel,
even see the label that fell off one pot 4 years ago. I can still see folds on the
bottom if I look hard. the koi stir up the bottom, that goes into the pump, into the
veggie filter where it sits until fall when I suck the mulm out of the veggie filter.
there are no leaves dropping into the pond, there are few trees in the adjacent area
actually and the pond is netted in any case.
