Default How deep is too deep?

When the plants can't grow. Four feet is good enough.
And yes young kids are a concern.

You called BV?

I am convinced that I can drown in 6 inches of water!
Long story that is not worth discussing in this forum.
But worth mentioning is that my shrink said I'm getting better by the day!

5 - 6 feet. any deeper and cleaning is a pain. altho good for far

northern areas.

Clearly though...the though of JMK falling into a 7 foot deep pond is

more
fund then a 2 foot deep pond.

That is a good point. Although we have the ankle biters to stay away from
the pond, and we always keep an eye on them when they are in the yard, the
depth is an issue. My oldest could probably standing the deep part of my
pond, and the youngest would be OK if he stood on a pot. Soon he'll be tall
enough to stand on the bottom as well. What I am trying to say, is that with
my 42inch or so depth, if they did fall in, it would not necessarily be a
death sentence as it would be with 5 feet of water.
