Hello - Intro

[James Curts]

Hello All,

Just found your site and read a few posts. I am Jim Curts and live in the
Portland Oregon area, semi retired and looking for something to fill in some
time with. Would like to get more involved with ponds and perhaps the
maintenance of them. Do not have an area suitable myself.

Are there web pages which will offer some guidance on not only the building
but the maintaining and caring for ponds? Some good ideas on designs would
be nice also.

Thank you

Jim

Thank you K30a,

I just love secrets and code names. ;-}

The pages look interesting and I will undoubtedly spend time on them.

Are there any folks on here who are involved in building ponds with
knowledge of pumps & filters, etc. requirements?

Take care

Jim

Welcome to a fellow Oregonian! You should be able to fill lots of time
with ponds and pond related projects ;-) ;-)

Another good site with links to other pond sites is our own BV's pages:
http://www.iheartmypond.com

You might want to change your email address to something "spam proof" so
you don't get inundated with junk mail. See my address or others here
for suggestions on how to foil spambot address gathering programs.

pond filtration, water quality, fish health, etc. Click on Koi Health
Advisor in the Menu. ~ jan
