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.

Great pics

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.

Welcome, Bev. Nice 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

Under Don't let the neighbors use your pond, you have this perfect photo:

Careful, there. K30's gone over to the Dark Side (she's in Washington).
I'm on the Eastern Shore in Nova Scotia. There's quite a few other
Canadian regulars here.

Depends what you consider costly. HDPE isn't too bad. I'm thinking of
using it on my next pond. 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.

As far as knowledge...well I can only tell you the mistakes I made!! LOL

See, you've only been on this newsgroup a day, and you're already in sync
with us. We look at it as an addiction - but none of us are ready to be
cured :-)

Let get one thing straight. I run this place you do not. got it?
And what in hell is a canadian doing here with a pond? do you use it as
a skating rink in the winter?

Let me help you out here. 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. Thank the athiest God, you are not a miserable Christian.

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.
Bev
