Moretz,
I had to reread your post and check where you are from. You are from NC and I live in Virginia which is 7-B. My pond is posted under New members pond if you want to check it out. Since your is a kit and under planning stage you have to plan where you are going to dig. If it is under a tree you might need a bulldozer to dig and then the problem of the leaves in the fall but that could be remedied but netting it like mine. I have 2 ponds, the new one is preformed which is under a tree, it is dropped in and my DH encased it with bricks?? I am not sure what they are called. We live our ponds 24/7 and it is additional $40-50 per month for electric bill. whydo we do it ?? My pond was constructed for me to relax after a stressful day at work, likes to listen to the water fall and so it runs 24/7. the big pond has full sun but I have 2 big umbrellas to protect the kois. i have plenty of plants but it still gets tooo hot here and your place gets very hot too. Check out the picture of my pond if you wish. Happy ponding !! Bellie
This picture is the big pond
