Do we have any ponders who have a bunch of rocks on the bottom of their
ponds? Have any of them tried it 'bare bottomed'? They might be able to

We had gravel in the bottom of our 1st pond that first year. We removed it
the following summer because of all the debris it collected. Cleaning the
pond was impossible with the gravel on the shelves and bottom.

I did not put in rocks because of what I read here. Every time I
cleaned it I thought "Boy, was *that* the right choice!"
