Im thinking seriously about a couple of islands for my pond. Mainly for shade and nutrient consumption. Thinking about 4" pvc frame, 4 ft x 4 ft, with galvanized chicken wire for a base and use some iris and other water plants to fill it, so their roots will drape into the water. Just have to be careful which plants.


.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
