Hi All,
This spring we enlarged and deepened our backyard pond. We thought the
liner had a leak but it turned out to be the biological filter. The pond
is about 9 x 20 and is 34 inches deep at the deepest end. All the rocks
came from digging the foundation for our house addition. We are also
babysitting 5 big Koi and 1 big Gold Fish for neighbors that moved to a
house without a pond. We added 26 cent Gold Fish and Shebunkins and 2
tiny Koi. The Koi love to munch on our plants so we are altering the
vegitation in the pond. We have 10 babies so the Koi must have gotten
together, all the others are too young. Our pond is in mostly shade with
direct sun at a few specific times of the day. We are in Richmond, Va.
Photos are he http://www.pbase.com/brillo/pond__deck_construction and
can be viewed individually or as a slide show.
This newsgroup is very enjoyable and informative. We have enjoyd the othe
pond photos.

Welcome to RPM. We are also in the Richmond area. I would like to invite
you to join the Central Virginia Watergarden Club and invite you to see our
ponds. It is always nice to see neighbors on these sites.
