But I now see just how much I have to learn and I am extatic about finding this web site.. I will be fishing for a week or so but when I get back you guys and gals are going to be sick of my questions. Thanks to the Pond Boss for having and maintaing this site! Maki Here is my humble little pond 48hrs old

I went through the process your starting on about 4 yrs ago. I learned tons from these folks here and have some Upstate NY ideas and thoughts that may or may not apply to what your doing. Give me a shout here or prvt msg. Looks like a nice start to a fun pond! --------------------------------- 1/10 - 1/4 acre pond plus 16 ft deep/ Plus 40 ft by 20 ft by 6 ft deep koi and fathead minnow pond next to it. Upstate NY

It looks like you are going to have a great pond.

I put about a 3-4 ft high (100 stones) rock pile in today just(20 ft)off the 3 ft natural rock shelf. I am going to build and place a pvc tree in tomorrow and that will finish the bottom structure. Sooo... what do I do for plants? Thanks Scott
