Hi Everyone!
Well I'm off of work tomorrow and all next week for spring break.
I start digging my hole in the morning.
15x15 and 4 ft deep.
I'm go put in two bottom drains with pipe boots that feed into a settlement
hole in back of the pond that I'm looking at being around 4ft deep and 3x6
long, then this will go into a veggie filter with filter mat back into the
pond.
I want to have a venturi in there also.
I am getting rather excited although I hate the thought of all that digging.
I'm go be one sore woman. It'll probably take a week to dig all that.

Wow, that is a lot of digging. If you haven't done much physical activity
lately, you'll probably take a couple of days off after the 1st day.

I got tired just rearranging the garden to accommodate a new pond.

Hi Priss,

You have courage and will have strong muscles.

Have you considered having a guy/gal with a backhoe do the heavy lifting for
you? Wouldn't cost all that much and it would be done in one morning. We
did that for our pond...16x22x2. It was really fast!

I also dug my pond myself. It is 16X16X4. But I had so much fun doing it
myself that I am considering digging another pond. I wish you luck and hope
you can afford the chiropractic adjustements afterwards. lol

May I suggest that you take pictures of the process and the end? We love
pictures here!

I can relate, Priss! The snow is FINALLY gone from my area and the
ground is workable so this past week I've been preparing the area I am
putting my new, bigger pond in. Had to tear out shrubs that were there
at least twenty years. The old chain saw came in handy for that.

I am going from a 65 gallon pond to a 220 one. That's the largest I have
space for. Talk about digging LOL. I ordered my pond from a local garden
center and it's supposed to arrive this Tuesday. Can't wait to get it in
and start landscaping :-)
