Hello!! Soon to be pond owner

[j.w]

Welcome aboard.....

JW your pond and yard look great. Your grass looks like a fairway on a golf course. You should create a showcase for us.

Thanks tmann, the lawn looks like that because..........."The rain in Spain lays only in The Great Pacific N.W 24/7" :lol: I'd do a showcase if you could put up w/ old photo's that I have using a not so good camera that I had. And I don't have any photo's of the dig........never thought of doing that 10yrs ago :lol:

addy..........you're too funny..........and even nice also :lol:

Not to hijack the thread but what is that growing in front of the concrete bench, looks like a form of sedum?

I could put up with the old photos.

 

[j.w]

That's what it is tmann...........sedums growing like crazy. I have several different kinds of sedums and they take a lickin and keep on tickin when all else fails. I like how you can just break off a piece of any sedum and stick it right in the ground and voila, you have instant new plants :lol:

Here is the one that you see by the bench:

They are neat plants, we need to water ours off and on, not as wet as your are jw.

 

[j.w]

I haven't had to water anything much at all this Spring/Summer and that is even strange for here. It's been raining here each day for several days now. At least the grass stays nice and green. Usually by this time it's hard to keep it green as we have such sandy soil.

Thank you for the very warm welcome.

DrDave, Since you are a fellow Californian, where is an inexpensive place to grab a pond liner? I am looking for 10' x 12'

 

[addy1]

home depot and lowes have them around 100 for 10x20. Not sure if that is cheap or not, it is epdm, which I have not bought before.

I bought the last one at Home Depot. $15.50 a foot for 15' wide material. larger than 15' wide needs to be ordered from another supplier.

BGJ223 I am not sure if these are good prices compared to others you may see on the net but they do offer free shipping on some of these liners which might make it worth while. Not sure though.
