Water Gardening: The Pond is Coming Into Its Own, 1 by Happenstance

Hi Ric -

The pond is an irregular 22' x 18' and only 24" deep at the deepest point. It goes against all the "experts" advice about depth, but I have several young grandchildren and didn't want the worry of a deep pond. It has worked well, the fish are always visible, not hiding out in the depths of a six foot deep pond and in our climate we don't have to deal with the cold/ice issues in the winter months. Besides that Mr.Bobcat (my DH) stopped when he hit rock and solid clay.

You like my icky image from the past......here's one that is even worse. :-)
