Water Garden Complete!!!

Here are my official final pictures of the Water Garden

WOOOT....I am very happy with the outcome of the project and hope to enjoy it for many years. Toni Mae and I worked really hard. As of right now i am planing to keep just gold fish in the lower area so they can reproduce, but in the upper area i am sure there will be a cat or 2.

As the pictures show there ended up being 2 separate areas in the pond. The elevation differences of the end were way too much. 16" in one end 6" in the other end. So i drained the water pulled back the liners and put in a row of cinder blocks and built a dam. then layed the liners back down and over the dam. resulting in the divided pond, but 16 or so inches in each end. This also will allow me to put a bigger variety of fish.

Total Price: $1,100.00

I have 3 ponds/fountains now and love um....

Nice job. You can always put a few minner in it.:D

Looks good Fetmo, may have some trouble keeping the little one out of it.

Looks nice FETMO!:)

Add a few rosie reds and a few plants and next summer you will have plenty of minners to fish with.

Your hard work really paid off.

You are to be highly commended for the time you spend with your little darling.

thanks for the great idea!!!

and thanks for all the nice comments!!!!!:D

Looks real nice.

Looks good. Something like like will give you hours of enjoyment. You are rightfully proud.

Very nice ponds! Rosy Reds are easy to grow. They spawn all summer and grow fast. All they need is something they can get under to spawn on and some algae to eat and they'll do the rest.
