Well when I started my pond 2 springs ago, all went great through the summer. Got divorced that winter and didn't have the chance to do anything with it at startup except turn on the pump. Moved it to my new place the following summer. So now I'm coming up on my 1st spring. Pump is running, replanted the lotus, and waiting on water temp to get over 50.

Funny think is, it just don't seem like work when you enjoy a pond the way ponders do. :surfing:

I do it all too by myself.........it was my idea, dug it all out w/ a shovel. Hubby did help me move the liner from the truck to the pond and I took over from there. Oh and he did help me get the rocks from the rock place. He does help me once in awhile getting free pond plants out and about in his underwear :lol:
