Brand new to garden ponds
the person who opened the thread was thinking of putting the pond where it
was lower than surrounding land - i pointed out that in general this is a bad idea - though i keep doing it - because run off will take bad chemicals into the pond, it can give u huge algae bloom - fertilized lawns = fertilized pond - it can result in water going under your liner and collapsing the sides - etc. the way this pond is built is it looks lower than the surrounding land but the liner comes up over the outer edge of the inner ring of rocks - an outer ring holds the liner in place and crushed gravel plus rocks hide the liner. we have had some torrential rains and no problem. i have had no silt deposited in the pond at all -other than that from my goof of adding white clay from my pottery to my planters. the polyester wool recommendation worked wonderfully on cleaning that up. i never did add the flocculants because i like how it now looks. sorry about the list issue - i didn't realize that would happen.

I never did see them at pondkeeper. Ended up joined to the listserv somehow.... no thank you, unsubscribed post haste. Now I can't remember what you were trying to show us, or if you had a question or what? Pond looks cute. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
