We never could get anything to grow in the ground around that tree anyway because the soil was horrible. Using the pond form, I'll be able to use all "new" soil and if I can get it cleared out well enough, it should be pretty much weed free. (Yeah, I'm dreaming, but I like GOOD dreams!)

This will give you an idea of the size of the pond. This pond buckled in half when the tree in the foreground heaved and fell on the dining room. Funny thing is that THAT tree was totally obliterated within 2 weeks of falling. I smoothed over the remaining dirt and the next thing I knew REALLY BIG elephant ears had come up where the pond had been.
