j.w's pond

We had been in our new home for a year when I decided to start my first pond. That was back in the Spring of 2001. The pond was about 15' x 6' wide or so and 3&1/2' deep and planted over the septic pipes that I ran into while digging.



Then I decided a few years later that maybe it was not so good of an idea to have a pond right over the septic pipes in case there was ever a problem and the pipes needed replacing. Really just used that as an excuse to make a bigger pond across to the other side of the sidewalk. The new pond I dug is about 15' long x 7' wide and 3&1/2' deep at around 2400 gal.

Lovely, j.w. For some reason I thought your pond was in the backyard. Also, you don't have a net over it?

 

[j.w]

Thanks John and yep it's in the front and yes I do now have a net. Those are older photos. That net is a lifesaver. My fish can feel safe now and float up there and stick their tongues out at the old heron

Love how our nets work, mr heron sure does stay away.

Can't find my net photo's on my computer. Guess I will look for them here and click and save.

j.w updated j.w's pond

Back around Nov. 2013 I added a net to my pond. Love how it keeps the fish safe from the heron now. I just lift it up and clip it up above and can get in easily to do any maintenance that needs doing.
