I wouldn’t say I am at that level, Mabye in a few ponds!Got to come up with a name for your buisness there sir. Or your parents won't have any lawn to cut very soon
Thanks! I am in the Fort Collins area ( 60 ish miles north of Denver ).This is so awesome! You did such a great job. I love this look.
on a side note: You must not be in the grand valley. My daffodils we all up, bloomed and already dying back three weeks ago.
You have made a fantastic pond. I'm very impressed, love the bridge and the daffodils (daffodils don't grow in Florida, so I have both pond- and daffodil- envy). Great job!I have finished up the waterfall and added some more plants, I still need to do the not fun stuff and clean up everything around the pond though. The bog isn't working quite as well as expected, so I have added back my UV to temporarily help out until the bog has a chance to establish itself.

My parents planted some bulbs around the edge of the pond and that is making for quite a lovely little flower garden! I should also add- That pathetic little fencing is just there to keep the chickens out while all the plants establish themselves.
That is surprising! I was under the impression that everything grew in Florida. Is it to warm for them?You have made a fantastic pond. I'm very impressed, love the bridge and the daffodils (daffodils don't grow in Florida, so I have both pond- and daffodil- envy). Great job!
Yup, too warm. Daffodils (many spring bulbs, in fact) need a period of cold to be reminded to enjoy the warmth of spring.That is surprising! I was under the impression that everything grew in Florida. Is it to warm for them?
I have removed most of the leaves from the bottom. I think I will add some more plants in the coming weeks. I don't really expect the bog to work for a few weeks, the beneficial bacteria probably need to gain a foothold on the pea gravel. The only reason I am using UV to FastTrack water clearing is because my sister has a graduation party at our house soon and I would like the water to be clear when other people see it.Your bog is brand new. Give it some time..
did you clean the bottom of the pond last photo i saw you had a good deposit of leaves etc.
Afew more plants certainly won't hurt plant the bog completely as the water clears then pull them out if that's the look you want
Drain half of it and refill it like three days before the partyI have removed most of the leaves from the bottom. I think I will add some more plants in the coming weeks.

No always special, love seeing our deer, esp the bucks. They don't wander around like the gals do.Wow, impressive! OK, I know...for those who live in places where deer are common, maybe not so special, but still...
given the chance they'll destroy your landscape and run in front of your car, all before breakfast.
