My koi pond is the centerpiece of my teeny tiny back yard. we just
had friends over last night for dinner by the pond. a week ago we had
a party for other friends "by the pond". at night, we go out and sit
by the koi pond which has a light in the water and watch the koi swim
slowly in front of the light. my pond is for my koi. I only have one
water lily in it. the veggie filter contains plants and flowers.

a water feature can cost almost nothing or can be very expensive. the
cheapest water features are preformed ponds, maybe 100 bucks, a nice
pump maybe 50. A 5 buck tub buried in the ground with a small pump
could provide the splash of a water feature. with no fish a small pond
will bring all kinds of wildlife to the pond like dragonflies, frogs,
toads. birds come to drink.
