TgM submitted a new Showcase Item:

TgM's Pond

We bought this place 2 years ago, it had a 6 X 9 pond. Once in a while you could see 1 of the two 2 gold fish in it.

Last fall I decided to enlarge it to 14 X 11 and go down another foot to 3 foot deep.

Well this spring it still wasn't enough and I decided to add 3 foot to the length and width and raise it another 8-10 inches. Now its 17 X 14 and close to 4 ft deep.

Sounds like you have a pond bug!

Awesome pond! And love love love your fish! I have a new thing for yellow koi. Loving them right now. Is that a white butterfly in one of the pictures?

nice pond, and by the sound of it, in a couple years you'll be digging a lake! :)

Got a 1/3 acre pond, would love to drain it, dig it out and triple it in size. Wife doesn't want me getting any other ideas.
