The Big Dig Update - Return of the Heron and Framing http://www.popperian.com/pond/page23.htm

My bro in law gave me a whole mess of water lettuce today. I was in a hurry and dumped it all in, and then I notice they were all COVERED in aphids. Am I in trouble? BV.

I thought that I had figured out a way to discourage the heron from visiting. I put up a fake heron. I put in a duck. I stretched fishing line over the top of the pond and around the pond. The heron came straight down from a nearby tree and landed next to the pond. Then stepped through the fishing...

Back in the Dec. 2002 ice storm, our power was out for about 26 hours, as I recall (I've tried to repress the memory). We had phone service for about 24 hours, but apparently there's something in BellSouth's local equipment that has only a certain "life" without power. What did the phone...

Being new to ponding.... I see many people writing and asking about 'veggie filters'. I understand what they now are but I am having problems locating plans on how to build one nevertheless what size I would require. Any help is appreciated...links,info etc. My pond is 2000 gal. with a surface area...

We recently began our pond by digging a J shaped whole that's about 2.5 feet at the deepest point. The rim of the whole pond is reinforced with 2x2 wooden stakes, driven into the ground to ground level and then lined with rubber garden edging. A 20x22 liner was put into place and now we were...

Planning is nearly done & what it looks like I'll be building are two ponds. One will be a raised rectangualr pond - about 800-850 UK Gallons (just over 1000 USG) and the second will be a half raised Liner pond which will be about the same size. The Raised pond will be about 3'6" deep & will be...

YIKES is right! you are WWWWAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY overstocked! folks here recommend 1000 gallons for ONE koi and 100 gallons for each koi more. and 20 gallons for each goldfish. go to the store and get another pump IMMEDIATELY! even one too small can be used as a back up until you get one the right...

Thank you very much! :-)

I would think it will plug up pretty fast? Gale :~) Has anyone ever used weed block fabric for filter media or can think of any problems with using it? I'm thinking of using it for a final stage filtering.

I am going to re-do my pond into a bayfront pond complete with deck, mooring posts with ropes, fishing pier, sea shells etc. Anyone have any pics of any existing ponds to get some ideas?
