Acre pond - a year later
 

A year ago, our acre pond had just been finished. Here is a link to
some photos showing the difference a year makes.

Yes, they did a super job. Probably a great swimmin' hole in the Summer.
Jim, do you folks ever use it as such?

I almost expected to see a tire hanging from a tree next to it.

Kurt,

You are right on target. The weedy area to the right of the dock is a
'platform' beach that will run from 12" to 48" deep and be a play area
for grandkids. I will have to bring in a grass carp to keep it clear
(They eat plants.)

If you look closely at the 'dirt only' picture, you can see a person
standing on the platform, just to the right in front of the center
pine tree. The dock forms the end of the platform/beach area.

As I think about it, we are going to have a zip line across the pond
for the kids. No trees for tires, but a great run for a zip line.

Lucky kids.

If you've got the deluxe swimming pool, I've got the algae-filled hotub.

Fish are happy, they nibble on my legs when I've gone in to clean.

I saw a news segment on this last year. They probably eat a lot more
than dead skin.

Nice. It looks so natural. How did you make it watertight? It doesn't
look like a liner pond.

The Garra Rufa is a variety of carp. I always thought my goldfish
were trying to eat the hairs on my legs and body. I wonder if ours
would do the dead skin thing if we got into a hot tub size pond full
of unfed fry. Lots of my dead skin is on my face and ears (sun
damage.), but I couldn't hold my breath for an hour for them to clean
it off. Probably wouldn't work anyway, since it isn't psoriasis, but
it is an interesting thought.

There are sources in China, probably for volume dealers.

=======================
Is it spring fed or just run off? Our neighbor has a nice stock pond that
fills from run off. This summer, with the endless drought and heat, it's
completely dried up.
