I suspect that is the problem in that I really don't have any goals to have a pond other than add to the value of our property, attracts wildlife, and something I can stock and fish out of. After finding this site and having the pond in progress I realized this is MUCH bigger project than I originally thought. However with help, I hope to have a well functioning pond that meets my objectives rather than have an average farm pond that I will be fighting.

I'm really excited about the prospects of learning from this community and have already subscribed to the Pond Boss magazine. Again with some direction, I believe I can have something special. Thanks in advance for taking this newbie under your wings!
