It depends how much copper. Copper is great if a clear but near sterile

I'd have to go back into the book but I think it was a koi pond.
Certainly a heron is mentioned...


Yes, there were fish in the pond IIRC.

(I found the book a little heavy handed, though...)


Yes, I agree, in parts it was a bit convoluted and 'mystic' but
nonetheless I enjoyed it and it drew me in. A friend had read it and
recommended it to me, mainly thinking of the garden aspect, I suppose.
