We sent in pictures of
our old Pond from Kingston, Ontario. Since then we have moved to British Columbia
and have constructed a bigger – more beautiful pond and we want to share the progress
and our pictures with you.
Attached is the construction phase from start
to end!
We really enjoy making ponds. This one
has a creek and underground filter system with a 6 inch pipe draining into the filter box
that acts like a skimmer. We also pump from the bottom of the pond to the filter
box, we have a “Tee” on that line that gives the pond good water movement.
All water and electric lines are buried.
We used a Rain Barrel for a water falls.
In the spring when all the flowering plants are blooming, it’s amazing.
Most of the plant have yellow flowers. I add little things so that each time you
look, you can find something different.
The first couple of months we had floating
algae problems, it takes patience and lots of work to get rid of this problem, but once
it’s done, its well worth it!
And, now we have a beautiful clear pond with
no problems.
Enjoy!
