Hiya folks,
First of all please forgive my ignorance. I have been interested in pond ever since i saw my parents neighbors had one put a couple of years ago. Wanted to have one myself but there was no yard available and over time I kinda forgot about it. I finally got a house with a yard and the pond thing popped back in my head again. Started doing some research online about building one from bottom up but unfortunately most of the sites I found have either don't have really good information or they want to sell me something and just leaves me with even more question and confused . Maybe I need a 10 year old to help me with online search. Finally, I found this forum that is actually active so I figure I'll plead to all the gurus here with help in how to go about doing it right.
My first question is that, are there any good websites/books etc that can actually go through the whole construction in way that doesn't expect me to know practically anything about ponds or gardening? I just want to thoroughly know the subject matter before i jump in blind.
I'll start taking some pics and post them next time to show what i have to work with. Hopefully I can get it done this summer.
I appreciate all the help.
