Hi everyone

We havent got round to building our bigger pond yet, but we have smartened
up the one we have. Its only an old corner bath, about 90 uk gallons(around
110 us gallons) and its too shallow and shady for pond lillies, but I think
we have done pretty well with what we have. What do you think (link below)
We expect there to more greenery and colour in a few weeks.

By the way can I say thank you to Jerri and all the people who post on this
group, its very friendly asnd people write in plain English, not obscure
computor jargon and slang. I sdont post very often but I enjoy reading it.
love Barbara

Hi I looked up your small pond too. It is cute isnt it. I notice that you
are having trouble with green water algae. Now the pond is a few years old,
I dont seem to have that problem any more but now I get the type that grows
all over everyting including the plants. When I had the green water I found
that Accuclear helped tremendously. It isnt a poison and it just clumps the
algae together, so it gets caught in the filter. I put some filter wool in
the filter in addition to the sponge and I think it gets it out better.

I love all of your pictures! They are so interesting! It gives a different
feel to actually watch someones progress! I am so sorry about the dog! My
mother has a dog friend who comes over and steals things from her pond! He
hasnt torn anything up...yet.

I don't know why you are sorry about the dog, Its a local river he is
swimming in, not the pond!!

Thank you Priss! I am sorry about the confusion! I love these message boards
and the pictures and would never do anything to make someone mad!

I posted to the wrong message I guess. I was talking to the lady that had the
stray dog come in and tear up her ponds. She has a very imformative site with
pictures of her progress and the damage done to the pond! I am not a sarcastic
person and meant no harm. I was only replying to the ladies pictures! Sorry if
I offended you in any way.

Thats OK I am glad we sorted that one out

Hi

I can only find the page about your small pond, and nothing about a dog
attack! No wonder I didnt understand. I am glad we got it sorted though

Found it now! Your ponds are coming on great now arent they? I enjoyed your
pages about your son and your pets too. In a bit I hope to be uploading pics
of a bigger pond as well

I have 2 Koi each about 7 inches long, and 6 or 7 gold fish varying from 2
to 4 inches long. The rocks I picked up along a graded rode near a lake.
Can't afford to by the nice kind you get at landscaping stores G.

Those looked nice to me. Wish I could find some like that on my roads. All I
could find was old grey rocks covered with dirt and clay. Then you have to
be careful not to let cops see you so I don't mess with em.

I drive about 65 miles to a lake and find back roads that are graded. That
area is almost all rock, most of it is flint and some other types. I pick
up what has been graded off of the side of the road. I also look for
intersesting rocks when I get into the woods. Sometimes means carrying
large rocks a long way back to the car, but it is worth it.

Someday I will be able to afford that nice flagstone and redo all of the
rock around my pond, but not yet G.

I'd much rather have the rock than the flagstone.....when is the last time you
saw a natural pond or stream with flagstone.....never. I like the natural
look ....flagstone is fake looking Jerri

I agree 110%. I am edging my pond with plants and turf grass so it blends
into the yard. The back edge is lined with rock, and I have a few placements
of rock around the water garden area. All of this rock is from my yard, and
from a local construction site that is digging up the same kind of rock.
Using the local indigenous rock, helps a lot.

Guess I had not thought about that. I am trying to do some landscaping
around the pond this summer. Once that is done I will probably be much
happier with the look.
