Default Brand new to garden ponds

there is probably a more proper way to give that link and i should learn how
to do it but im working with one hand and half a brain right now... i will
try to find a better way of posting pictures.

what i should have made more clear was how it is set up - there is an inner
circle of rocks and the liner comes up over the outer edge. an outer circle
of rocks holds the liner up and in place. crushed rock and my favorite
rocks then hide the liner. now run off water cant foul the pond even though
it appears to be lower than the surrounding area -

I joined the group and everything, but can't see a picture there.

I don't use any chemicals in the yard, and the location isn't where
anyone
else's runoff could get to it. There won't be erosion either, my lawn is
too
thick for that. Anyway I thought it would be a good way to keep it full
of
water even if the liner developed a leak.
