Hi everyone!!
We bought our house in January of this year. There is an existing koi pond that has been pretty neglected and thus overrun with Himalayan blackberry and English ivy. The previous owner said he wanted to get some of the koi in the spring, and I'm thinking (after lurking here) that he should get 'em all and we should replace them with shubunkin. I don't know the size of the pond but it's decently large and quite shaded or will be when all the ornamental deciduous trees fill in. A lot of liner is showing and I'm excited to make it a bit more aesthetically pleasing. First of course is getting all those noxious weeds cleared out. I'm home all day but have a baby so I definitely can't get as much done as quickly as I like. I'm out in the garden every day during nap times!!
Anyway, this is lengthy but I will probably mainly be reading and learning from everyone! Thanks for sharing your expertise and experiences!!
