Yes Nancy- thought your pond was great!! Not being able to dig much this
year, I went with 2 alternatives till next year... I found an old feed or
water trough (made of metal) at the dump of all places! Deep and long. My
other was a contraption you mix cement in, made of plastic. Just deep enough
for water lilies and other plants. Buried it in part of my garden, and
planted some low grasses and other plants, as well as rocks to hide it. I
know I will have to bring it in for winter, but I can sink those plants in
the trough, being deeper?? The cat loves it, due to all the frogs I have! He
just sits and watches. I love it. But next year, some liner and a shovel,
and do something small but permanent. Again, congratulations on yours!
