I love the way your plants have come in. I'm in northern California. Just curious if you have any recommendations on plants to avoid and/or plants that are a must have.
Watch out for horsetail, it takes over. I like the elephant ear or taro plant, lilies and lizard tail. Watercress is good for quick growth to shade shallow areas.
Wow looks like heaven to me. Nothing better than a warm pond to swim in. In many ways better than the ocean. Consider yourself blessed mu guy. One of the better swimming ponds ive seen build
120 rainbow trout? That pond is going to be disgusting. 120 is about ten times more than people recommend, though most organic pond people don't recommend putting in fish at all. Their waste is going to turn that water into sludge
He fished them all out and released them to a local lake! In my pond, I have two Koi, and one bass. The bass keep the mosquito fish population to a nice balance. The Koi I never have to feed, they do fine scavenging.
That looks like, or did look like the natural spring-fed creek that runs through my boss's ranch in Texas before the devastating drought! During the summer, I'd go back there for a swim during the day, then go back to working.
Could u tell me, I want to do this to the pool. No one swims in it , and it takes 7.5 gal of Clorine a week, that $85.00 per month ( I am in Florida ), but the home is my Son's, he says the pool will be RUINED, The finish, which is new, will be a disaster if ever he wants to put it back !! What do u think ???
Hi I like what you were trying to do but using plastic is a huge fail. Plastic is terrible and is not natural, very toxic and It leeches into the soil try another way Benenite, gleying or clay compaction. Please rename, take out natural or it just looks like more green washing. Cheers and thanks for listening
Hey man! I love the pond! I’m in Dallas, TX and I want to make one. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you connect the corrugated pipe that runs in the filtered area to the piping that runs to your pump? Is there a converter pipe? Also, how did you get your retaining wall to stand since you can’t poke holes in the liner. Any help would be great! Thank you! -Micheal
Water moccasins are here. Just killed a 4’ this week. But, the dogs swim in our big catfish pond & scare them away from the area they swim in. Dogs alert us of snakes & it’s been 10 yr. Different dogs but in all so far never been bitten. If they bark we go check it out
Excuse me if I am asking a dumb question. How much does this cost building a pond like this including all the construction cost, equipment and the 24 metric tonnes river stone. Do you need to get a permit building a pond like this as the water may give pressure to the landscape around. This is absolutely beautiful.
Can you please tell me how the pallets don't collapse under the pressure from the rock? I am very curious on how you connected the pallets together. Thanks
