""Even though we often harvest from our ponds, we would be better off financially going to Krogers."" This is a really great and wise quote. The pond as a food source is very similar to a backyard garden. It takes work, effort and some expense to yield a dependable crop. Its is profitable only if you find gardening a hobby pastime instead of using your time doing something else.
I strongly agree!
I would NEVER want a pond if not for passion for the fish!
Too much hard work and expense - others have different passions for ponds but passion is required IMO.
