Hello Everyone

Snooze wrote What geometric figure from the limit of a regular
polygon as the number of sides approach infinity?

Are you kidding???
I asked one of the seniors in high school who lives at my house and he said,
'circle'.
Checked the answer and danged if he wasn't right! I may not be a math whiz but
I can raise them.... (with help of engineer DH gene pool!)

Hmmmm...
I haven't *seen* any preforms with shallow ends...
I've seen one (a nursery pond) that has a shallow
ridge running all around the edge to put plants in small pots on for sale.
I
noticed that someone had one in their backyard here recently that showed
up on
a webpage (I didn't think they were for sale to the general public).

The one you saw was this one, I think. http://lamb.iswiz.com/pond.php

Yes, that's the one.
Our nursery puts smaller potted aquatic
plants around the edges that are for sale.

The answer to the problem is not in the math, but in the understanding of
the question.
A regular polygon is a polygon that has all sides and angles the same.

4 sided regular polygon, will look like a square.
5 sided regular polygon, will look like a pentagon
6 sided regular polygon, will look like a hexagon
7 sided regular polygon, will look like a heptagon
8 sided regular polygon, will look like a octagon

By the time you get to an octagon, you can see that if the lines get smaller
and the angles between the 2 lines get wider that eventually it will look
like a circle.

I don't really the room (nor the talent) to do something like that. :-(
I'm thinking of maybe getting a larger liner instead, digging the hole a bit
deeper and keeping it like it is, only a bit larger.
The possibilities are endless!

How about plunking in a pre-form, but creating a small "stream" running to
it for the birds to bathe? The "head stream" could be a shallow depression
with the water burbling up and out of the ground, flowing through a river
rock lined stream, dumping into the preform . . . a little woodlands
theme?
Most pre-forms are only 18" deep, but it would give your fish a little
more
safety.

It's that time of year again, when thoughts turn to ponds being unfrozen
and
useable. Well, for me anyway w/a small one here near Boston.

It's been a while since I've posted but you guys/gals have always been a
wealth of info!

I'm thinking of expanding, I've got a shallow bird-pool going on right
now,
about 4 feet long by 3 feet wide. It's only about 10" deep and from
there
comes up to a shallow end where the birds bathe. I want to put in a
preformed liner, dig a hole, plop it in, be done BUT I want a shallow
bird
bath end ... does such a thing exist in preform? I haven't found one,
but
again, you guys/gals are the experts. It's still not going to be very
big
or deep - it's in a small garden area. I guess I'm looking for a
pre-form
w/a shallow end. :-)

I've got three small goldfish (they must have come on plant I bought
last
year since I didn't put them there) and I'd like it to be a bit deeper
for
them when I put them out, since they're so used to me now they'll be an
easy
target for something to snack on, they'll probably come right to the
surface
for Mr./Mrs Raccoon where last summer they took off at any sign of
movement.
This was low maintenance last year, I've got no big filtration, just a
fountain w/a small filter attachment and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'll
probably just have to buy a bigger fountain.

Oh yes, and I'll be putting in plenty of plants!

TIA,
LeeAnne

bird baths quickly become a bird sewer system.
birds carry diseases in their poop that infects and kills fish.
bird poop and goldfish are not compatible. put in a separate bird bath and net the
pond to keep the birds out of it for healthy fish. Ingrid

BUT I want a shallow bird
I've got three small goldfish
