fall is running. If it starts leaking again I'm turning it into a frog-bog.

The only problem I have with my frog bog
is weeding it. Water plants are tough! And trying
to get them out takes real muscle power. But that
said, I don't really know how to remedy it (lift
more weights in the off season?). But it is still
my favorite pond project and if we ever move I'll
build another one (and a stream and a formal pond
and, and...)

$$ Well this is only a 150 gallon lined in-ground kiddypool so weeding
shouldn't be too much of a problem. All I'll put in there is my Lotus
plant. Since it's right off the front porch I can spot any weeds that try
to get a foothold.

my favorite pond project and if we ever move I'll

$$ I know what you mean. I don't want a stream but have dreamed of a
beautiful rock waterfall for my larger pond for several years. We just
can't afford to hire someone to do it. Worse yet, it's on a slope which
would have it facing away from the house.... *sigh*....

I've got a better idea. Stop referring to him. I was doing really well by
killing anything crossposted to rec.ponds and alt.religion (OK, ponds
_could_ be a religion, but there's still not enough genuine crossover that
I'd miss much). Now you've dragged him back with a different set of
cross-postings.

======================
I don't SEE any cross-posting in OE6 when I post here. How can that be?
When I see them I remove them. I can't remove them if I don't see them. Am
I missing something? Can it be the newsserver? All I see in the newsgroup
section of THIS POST is rec.ponds.

Sorry, not _your_ crossposts - his. He just responded to your use of his
name - and then cross-posted his followup to a bunch of newsgroups that I
wasn't filtering out.

What about potting the plants, and burying the pots? Then at least, with a
shovel you can cut anything that has jumped the pot, pull the pot out, and
work from there?

That would be a good idea for the next frog bog
but alas nothing short of a stick of dynamite will
budge the cattails in there now. Youngest son is
an offensive tackle, big, strong kid, and he can't get them
to budge.
But we did get enough space clear for the next batch of
frogs this year.
Now the worry is with the drought out here to keep enough
water in it.
(If it's not one thing it's another...)

================================
I planted the plants in gravel in my first pond. Never again! What a job
getting them out without ripping or puncturing the liner. Everything goes
in pots now. If I turn the kiddypool into a frogbog I will plant the Lotus
right in soil, cover that will gravel and let it go wild.

OK, I will post here using *this* other newsserver called news.aioe.org.
Even if I don't or can't see any other NGs in the Newsgroup field - it will
NOT cross-post. :-)))

No, they *are* her crossposts as well, Derek. Her nemesis adds others,
including rec.ponds. She spews, he spews, regs in other groups reply.
It's extremely odd about her claim she can't see the crossposts,
considering she has time to alter the Subject line, add new sigs, cut and
paste boilerplate from a file of canned replies, and change her account
details in the huge number of groups she floods.
Carol is basically a lying hypocrite.

My iris are in pots in the VF. This past fall I took them out to sink them
in the pond. They were one large mass. The roots lept from the pots, and
joined each other. There was little help provided by the pots. Massive
plants. I have lots of splitting to do this year.
