Newbie ponder...take a look
I am in the beginning stages of building my pond. Please take a look of
what I have so far and let me know what you think. Any and all suggestions welcome, i.e. pump size location and type, filters, plants, thanks. I have books and video's, now I'd like to tap into this recource, thanks. http://home.comcast.net/~grumpy232/pondpage.htm I will be doing fish, but not for another year or so. I might build a false bottom to keep my 2 year old from taking a swim. Or a fence. Thanks again |

Grumpy wrote Comments on 3 tributaries into pond, Will add lots of oxygen to the pond for the fish. My only concern would be water agitation if you want to have lilies. They like fairly calm water. But all that depends on the drop into the water, how fast it flows, if you have plants blocking some of the water movement. Looks like you are off to a good start and we'd love to help you along ;-) kathy :-) algae primer http://hometown.aol.com/ka30p/myhomepage/garden.html |

[Lurker rises] I know little about ponds, but is your wall as it seems, dry-laid block, or did you use mortar and tie it into the landscaping? rebarbed and cemented into the ground Are you in a climate that gets rain or snow? yes As for the fence on your side you must protect your children and visitors. a fence will go up People in the next town over lost a 16 month old to drowning in a 2 foot pond. our worst nightmare [Lurker sinks back into the pool] |
