pondscaping a dream pond

I would put together a series of streams and pools and bogs and it would be a wildlife pond so that means moving someplace where wildlife can walk in and out of our yard. I'd build decks here and there, some with shade, for viewing. Lots of bird feeders and squirrel feeders and salt licks and hidden brushy areas and trees. I'd have a yearly cleanup with my *free* labor. I'd also live in an area so the water could stay fairly open during the winter - like it usually is here except for the occasional COLD winter like we had (having) this year. k :-) And you better add, far enough from neighbors that move out into the wild, yet expect the wild to move away or at least, not make noise. You'll have to do research on plants deer hate. My sister has been doing quite the dance on keeping the deer out of her property. One area is okay where she has those electrical posts, but others she's been buying a lot of wire fencing. That can't be fun. This was a heavy snow year for them also and about a 50 deer herd came out of the hills. Many of the neighbors' yards have been stripped clean as it is a young neighborhood and the bushes & trees had not grown tall enough. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

pondscaping a dream pond
Since I have unlimited funds..... I'll leave the majority of
my estate natural and have an old fashioned, huge, glassed in livable greenhouse attached to one section of the house with raised beds, a fountain, lounge chairs, stone veranda, outside kitchen and play area for the grandchildren. You're invited for tea and lemonade in the afternoons. k :-) |
