Very pretty. Hope you have more success next time around.
This is at least my 10th attempt to get exactly the pond I wanted, so the next one should have more corrections and be closer to what I want.
@glennlab You are determined!
@itsmedammit My ex was determined for me not to have fish indoors, I was determined to have fish. Plus I like the edible aquatic plants.
Concrete pond needed ... I did mine with a jcb and dug down 5 feet. 9 inch of concrete base, then concrete block walls laid flat so 9 inch thick and then rendered blocks (used to work as a bricklayer) - 10,000 gallons . You can lstop walls just above ground level and disguise edge with stone etc
To dig spmething like that where I live would cost as much as an in ground swimming pool. I live on a rock escarpment, 6 inches down is solid rock. I already had evaluated this, since it was my first choice. but thanks for the input.
@glennlab if you have a slope you could construct a fantastic run of smaller ponds with waterfalls between - pump from bottom to top. Clear dirt off stone, little concrete to seal surface at each level ....look great
@ShadowAmicus I'm just going to go back to the one I had with a new liner, there are a lot of considerations that I had to take into account and the location, shape, size (2500 gal), are pretty much decided. I already have the liner andpond set up, I just need to empty the underwater features out, drop the new liner in, make the modifications for the overhangs, reinstall the underwater features, add water, chemicals, plants, then add fish,
@glennlab Devastation 2 - return of the raccoons
hope they don't make the sequel for you
How beautiful! So sad the critters messed it up.
That is beautiful. And one thing I never got into. Water plants. Unless you count a sweet potato in a jar
My mother could grow some of the most beautiful sweet potato plants in a huge glass bowl. I should give it a try.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
