Gravel, What Size?

I have a bog (10 inches deep) that is rock covered and I've planted all my
plants right in the rock.
In the space of four summers the plants completely took over the bog. This fall
I had my two teenage boys in there ripping out plants right and left!
Penneywort and parrot's feather was the worst.
Lizard's tail, cattails and water celery were hot on their tails. Pickerel weed
and hardy lily were close behind. The only slow pokes were mini horsetail rush
and varigated rush.

Their first business is selling bark & rock, so building the AS type ponds
their way, looked good to them. ;o)

In our area, desert, where every wind storm over15-20 mph can settle
dirt/dust/sand on a white deck thick enough to turn it brown. Well we just
highly recommend bare liner with bottom drains and skimmers.

Basically know your area's weather conditions. ~ jan

PS... That "prof installer" that made a 4 foot pond and filled it with 2 feet
of gravel should not be called a professional. The AS system requires a very
thin layer of gravel and would never instruct them to add 2 feet of it. They
should not be called a professional for that job.
