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 |

If anything I would lessen the emphasis on the stream section of the pond,
of which I think you have more than enough, and open the left side up with more general pond area. The balance between stream and pond seems a little tilted towards stream right now, and narrowing it might make that more so.

Thanks again My only comments are, make the pond wider.... instead of wider, I might bring in the sides and I highly recommend the fence before you put water in, forget the false bottom as it may be false security, imho. ~ jan a fence is a definite, it's just a matter of picking something nice (Do you know where your water quality is?) |

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? Our waterfall is built with the more decorative blocks, but they are dry-laid. They work great!! Jan "Our Pond" Page http://hometown.aol.com/pinkpggy/index.html |

I would also like input on under water lighting. Thanks. Oh and that's
"resource". Comments on 3 tributaries into pond, too much? Grumpy wrote: 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.
