Now came the real problem. Oregon back then had absolutely no pond
suppliers And of course no Internet to buy from yet. So we put in 3
layers of heavy black plastic. That lasted 3 years till some nephews of
mine decided to spearfish. Oh was I mad! But by then we had one small
Pondsupplier in Portland and we got a Tetra Pondliner that lasted till
last year.
======================
I had thought about it for a few years. I had seen some pics in magazines
and books about 15 years ago. One fine day in the summer of 1995 I put in
a 150g pond made from a kiddy-pool from Wal*Mart and a black drop-cloth
liner. I enjoyed it so much I dug an 800g pond and bought a Tetra 60 mil
liner. The following year we put in a 2000g koi pond. We still have both
plus three 700+ gallon tanks behind the house and a few 150g kiddy-pools for
fry, plants and frogs.
