Lakes or ponds?
Nick Maclaren23/1/04 9:54
In article , Sacha wrote: John Rouse23/1/04 7:16 Frivolous question but - I was told once that the definition of a lake was that it covered an acre of land. In discussing this with someone, I saw an internet definition giving 0.25 of a hectare as a lake. Anyone got any other ideas/sources/definitions? Pond: small body of still water esp as made for watering cattle or other purposes. Lake: large body of water surrounded by land So, it would appear size is everything! Okaaaaaay. So if we create a 1 acre (or thereabouts) body of water which will be used partly as ornament and partly to water the nursery, what shall we call that? ;-) A reservoir :-) Oh Nicholas, prosaic is thy name. ;-)) -- Sacha (remove the 'x' to email me) |

Lucky you ! Is your loch a recent construction, and can you go fishing from your boat/dock? Approaching 15 years now, and severely overcrowded with large-mouth bass. The approved thinning method involves worms and a nice amber ale. Just right for skating and curling Sometimes clearing the snow can be a chore... nobody around to skate at the moment, and there is a curling club in town. I took some introductory lessons, but there's no award for "largest bruise caused by confusing sliding and sticking feet." I need to get another lotus plant or two to plant in tubs; several varieties of hardy water lilies do fine in plastic pails.
