new here
Hi, I am new here and new to News Groups so please be patient haha. I have
been ponding for about 16 yrs now. We have two ponds. The upper one is about 10x8x2 feet and is for plants, frogs and tadpoles, it leads into a bog which then leads into a stream and it leads into our larger pond 18'x14'x5' for our Koi and goldfish. I live in the Maritimes, Canada. Take a look at my website to see pictures. Bev http://bevsplace.ca/ |

Welcome Bev,
Great looking pond set up. Being new to groups, a forewarning, we currently have some nasty trolls filling in as "people" here, so if anything nasty comes your way. Ignore. ~ jan On Sun, 29 May 2005 20:05:42 GMT, "Bev England" wrote: Hi, I am new here and new to News Groups so please be patient haha. I have been ponding for about 16 yrs now. We have two ponds.

Thank you everyone and Kathy...so nice to see another Canadian!! If you want
check out my "Canadian Ponders" page, I am trying to build a list so we can exchange resources and ideas. Feel free to email me and be added to the list. The large pond is actually lined with a pool liner. It was brand new in the box and I got it for very little as they had ordered the wrong size :) I am hoping to get about 5 yrs out of it before I reline it with the proper stuff. It will be quite costly to do. As far as knowledge...well I can only tell you the mistakes I made!! LOL It has been on ongoing learning experience as I'm sure you are already aware. Ponds never get finished, the continue to evolve. I've been painting and making things all my life and I especially enjoy making unique things for the gardens/ponds. Glad you like my work. Thank you again for the welcome and the comments Bev -- http://bevsplace.ca/ "George" wrote in message news:gsyme.19614$IC6.3375@attbi_s72... "Bev England" wrote in message ...

Check out NorthernGreenhouse.com - I haven't tried their pond liners, yet, but our greenhouse survived Hurricane Juan, so I know the product's good. Prices as low as CDN$0.25/sq.ft.

I am an atheist. I hate JW's. I can manipulate people to do my dirty work. I got people to report JW's all the time. Everyone who has a religion should die.

Gee..it's great to know there are other Canadians on here, hopefully we can
exchange resources. You being a Maritimer as I am must know that here there are very few resources. At least in NB. I will certainly check out the site you gave me, thank you. I did just purchase a new liner for the upper smaller pond. It is actually from a tarp company and is .16 per foot. You can also get it with a rubberized backing, I think it is 1.24 per sq foot. This stuff is the same as the original pond and has served me very very well. It is easy to work with and folds really well. It is also good for patching should it require any (haha...of course it will!!) When I started ponding all those years ago this was the only stuff available around here, cost me 300.+ for that liner!!! Now that same pond is bigger and needs to be relined and it only cost 30. something. If it lasts as long as the original, I'll be happy. For the big pond I would love to be able to get the EPDM....but it would cost a considerable amount. Maybe by then the craze will die down and the costs will reflect it. Someone told me mine is a PVC liner??? Black one side white the other, a woven material. Nice to meet you all, I look forward to sharing ideas.
