I've been trying to find some in the Tacoma, WA area and haven't been able to. Anyone know of any sources for them?

My local garden shop has water lettuce for $0.25 I bought 16 of them and through in the pond already. With it being so late in the year they just aren't selling them. I also got a few other things I think they were called water Hyacinths (SP) they look like a group of floating radishes. How do...

Hi gang: Anyone else from this NG attending the Koi USA show sponsored by the MAKC in Chantilly, Virginia this weekend (besides RTB)? Several of us will be getting together. It will be a nice chance to meet some contributors to rec.ponds! We can meet Friday night/other times as convenient... I...

If the water level in the pond is higher than the surrounding ground level, then the weight of water should hold the liner down. If it does not, then insert a hose between the liner and the soil, and try to get it to go as near the center of the bulge as possible. The weight of the pond...

Hi all, I just purchased a new xavan liner, 19 by 19 feet. It is in the ups system as I type. What I would like to know is if you have heard of any downside to this type of liner so I will know what to watch out for while installing it. I chose it because I am putting in the pond by myself and,...

PASTE, Theo, PASTE! Pasta is what you put sauce on, that the Italians are so famous for GBG! When I mix mine up, I measure out about 1/3 cup of the dry stuff into a bowl. Then you add "almost" that much of liquid, mix it up into a stiff little ball, knead it well (like bread dough - or, like...

I am designing a garden feature for my garden. I have been looking at mist and lighting units to enhance the cascades. As I have no experience of them or to that matter know of anyone else that has one,I was hoping that some-one could give their thoughts on these items please. Good or bad,...

I'll give Jon the benefit of the doubt by saying he's just seconding my own guess, since he did not post any website. In retrospect, I see that the subject of Jon's post is apparently an email address -- this is probably not a good idea, because that email address is now posted for all eternity...

My Wife and I had a baby girl last night! Congrats!!

That blasted raccoon that has trashed my watergarden twice! The professional critter-catcher left 2 Hav-a-heart traps set a week or so ago, and the one in the crawlspace had been tripped once with nothing in it....but tonight, I heard the trap close, hubby checked, and wow!! the 'coon was IN it...

Several others will give info on filter systems. I have a vortex, going to a bead filter, going to an upflow gravel filter filled with plants. If you are doing a koi pond, I would highly recommend going deeper, installing a bottom drain, and a skimmer. 2 feet deep is pretty shallow for koi. My...

After months of planning, weeks of work and a trip to emergency our first pond and stream is up and running. There is still some planting to be done but the . We're pretty happy with the end result. We're especialy happy with how well the stream worked out with the relatively small pump we...

Hello, Me and my wife want to trade for pond fish but we dont want to trade fish for fish we want to trade either postage or maybe pond plants for them. Koi or Comets or Black Moors or Fantails especially. Thanks, James and Wife

Sometime back a person on this forum built a footbridge to cross over their watergarden, and posted a text/picture outline of the project, in detail. The tutorial was in .doc format, with drawings/photos, as well as text, outlining the complete process. Unfortunately, I did not save the...

Hi Folks, I'm a newbie to ponding, and I'm in the process of putting in a pond approx. 7 X 14 ft. Our pond will be in a shady area, and I would like to get recommendations for marginal plants requiring very little sun (if there are any). The pond will be in our shade garden, and I'm hoping there...

I have had my little pond for three years. During year one I put these fern like plants in it. I planted them in a little bowl of sand/dirt and placed them in the shallow part of the pond. After that they took off and completely covered my pond. I loved it! Well, last winter was really bad and...

My bad, I put the URL in. Let's try this one again...shat we? www.wideopenwest.com/~ssmith5398 There that should work.
