$12,000? No way!! I'm with you, Linda - my entire set-up cost about $6,000, and I'm sure you can do it for even less, Beth. I can hardly wait to sit down with you and Andy -- we'll get together in early spring, for sure!

Looks like you have lots of us offering fish and plants, and don't you want to give Poppy a beautiful home with friends ASAP?

Mothermole - yes, the bottom is a combination of pebbles and sand. I have old carpeting on the bottom, OVER the lining so I can work in there and it holds the sand in place. My bottom pond is designed as a wildlife habitat pond, so I have a beach for entry, as well as dry sand for dry baths, etc. The streams are very shallow in order for the animals to have easy access for drinking and bathing, too.
