Hey all, am I supposed to plant vegetation right before filling pond or wait until filled? If I wait, do I simply go in the water to plant, just not sure. Thanks in advance

It depends what you are planting. Marginal plants you may wish to wait until full pool so you can set depth appropriately. Lilies you can place at the water line as it fills at required depths, they dont mind the leaves or crown dry, the roots need to stay moist. Underwater vegetation like eel grass I would plant when full but water had cleared some.

Mouthandeers good to have you on board---Welcome you are going to love this place!!!! Above the water line get the grass planted as soon as possible. The better the turf the less dirt will wash back in the pond. You can use the water from the pond to help get the grass established.
