anyone ever filled in a pool before

Hi all,

I have just heard the lovely news that my parents will be getting rid of their old swimming pool and spa--it leaks and they don't use it much anyway.
Hooray, no more ugly black iron safety fence. Hooray, more area for gardening! Maybe a raised pond with lotuses and water-lilies instead.
While Ganna Walska literally filled her swimming pool with lotus plants, we will need to demo the concrete and fill.
Anybody out there ever done such a thing?

I am most worried about knowing where the fill dirt comes from--that seems the biggest potential disaster.

Well sorry for such a mundane question after a few years of just eavesdropping.

Just one more word:
The ceanothus are sooo beautiful right now in our garden (and throughout California)--I'm having a nice blue moment
in the garden with Ceanothus, Echium, and loads of salvias, esp.Guaranatica 'Limelight' and Purple Majesty.

And the weatherman says its going to rain Thursday and Friday, lovely, but a bit bizarre for this time of year.

Well, Thanks, and let me know if any of you have experience with this particular procedure--
Laura (Los Angeles)
