The least expensive part of building a pond is figuring out exactly what you want it to be. Then, figure out the trade offs, financially and site related, that you can afford and/or live with. Otto can't cover everything that will make you happy.

In a recent PB meeting in Georgia, Mike noticed that almost everyone was dissatisfied with some aspects with their pond and how it was built. That said, to him, that the key was to make sure, in advance, that the owner did their homework and the builder asked lots of questions on just what the owner wanted it to be. Back issues of his pond building articles are available from the Pond Boss office and may be your cheapest source of information.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
