Money Saving Tip: Our individual Pond Projects are excellent if you are doing a project or two, but instead of buying multiple projects, you can get them ALL plus pond tips and information on our Pond Place CD!

	We can all learn and get ideas by looking at pictures of other people's ponds so I have included one of my current favorites to get things started. (It's a new pond and not yet planted)
	Here is a nice looking pond installed by Steve, in Spokane, WA. I bet he spends a lot of time on the bench enjoying his handiwork and the sights and sounds of a backyard water garden!
	This pond (installed 3 years ago) has a PVC liner and a pair of Koi. Frank said:"Your site has given me some splendid ideas. I live in the Midwest USA and the winters can be pretty harsh"
	Something different...This inventive ponderer placed a bell jar in the pond so the fish can watch the entire back yard! It requires frequent cleaning, but what an unusual focal point!
	Paul's pond is way up north in Berlin, NH where his fish must survive very long and extremely cold winters. Good job Paul and nice use of accessories like the bridge, arbor, statuary, etc.
	Here is a nice pond that has grown in nicely. It was created by a professional water garden installer and landscaper in Canada. Very nice work!
	Regan says: "We had fun in the building process and thank you guys for a lot of good tips and the help. It took the wife and I nearly 3 weeks to complete but are now enjoying it greatly."
	G Ryan sent in this pic of his backyard Koi pond. It's a nice location with both sun and shade and an attractive patio with bench next to the pond.
	This is a very nice homeowner installed pond in New Hampshire that has stone planters, walls and walkway matching coping stones and falls. Well done, Frank!

Clean Pond Tip - Songbirds love ponds as a source of fresh water and a place to bathe and they should be welcome guests, but an all too common mistake is placing bird feeders next to your pond.Feeders attract and concentrates the bird population into a small area so the droppings become unsightly on the pond edges and a source of pollution in the pond. The spilled seeds and empty husks are also an unsightly nuisance and I have seen them clog small pumps and filters. An additional problem is that the feeders may also attract mice, rats and chipmunks that could nest around the pond and have been known to chew holes in liner edges and stream liners while nesting and searching for food. Moving feeders to at least ten or fifteen feet away from the pond can make a big difference! You can learn more about this and other water quality issues on our Pond Place CD

	Cathy and Steve in Michigan upgraded from a 100 gallon hardshell pond to this beautiful 9' x 9' pond with upper pool and falls. Nice Job! Hardshell ponds are a great way to start, but soon become too small for most water gardeners.
	The Johnstons landscaped a back corner of their yard with this round water garden and falls. It looks all ready for plants, fish and enjoyment and is a very attractive focal point!
	Doug, of Bellmore NY, of did a beautiful job with this 9' x 16' pond. I especially like the way the raised area for the falls has been blended into the landscape with low perennials such as Sedum.
	This beautiful pond (or pair of ponds) is very well done and is an effective transition from lawn to the natural area behind! The second picture shows how a couple of months can make a big difference in how the pond looks!
	Valerie from Silverhill, AL sent this picture of her very attractive Goldfish and Koi pond. Looks like a nice cool spot on a hot day! The water lilies seem to be thriving so I guess the Koi are still small! Plant Tip: Koi are notorious plant eaters and will dig lilies out of the pots, eat submerged and floating plants and tear leaves off of marginals...A two pond system (one for plants one for Koi) is one solution. Our Pond Place CD goes more into depth on this and other potential fish and plant problems.
	John from Ontario, Canada built this water garden and stream. I especially like the arbor-It will be beautiful when the plants fill in.
	Karl of Staffordshire, UK. sent us this picture. You can visit his pond web site at http://www.karlbaker.freeserve.co.uk/

	Gary created this two pond system with a stream and bridge between the two. A very nice job!
	Ed and Gail of Maine made this pond, complete with falls and spouter. Note the plaque set in the coping stones...nice touch!
	Linda, her husband and a couple of neighbors all pitched in to create and establish this attractive Koi and Goldfish pond. It's landscaped to attract birds, butterflies and, as you can see, cats!
	This 8' x 12' pond has become a place that Todd and his family have all been able to enjoy. It has 6 Koi, 14 Goldfish and a bunch of babies!
	Here's a view of a beautiful Lotus blossom. The pond is small and is designed as an accent to the deck and patio area. If you have a Lotus in your pond be sure to fertilize it heavily and regularly for the best results!
	Here's a very nice pond was made by one of my local customers. The plants are doing great as this mid-summer picture shows and his main problem has been a visiting Heron that has been stealing his fish. (Actually, I have been telling him to thin his fish a bit since the water is harder to keep clear when overpopulated so the Heron is doing what he won't.) Clean Water Tip: Too many fish is a common reason for a pond that won't stay clear. We recommend an inch of fish per square foot of water as a maximum fish load. This means that a 10' x 10' pond (100 square feet) can support 100 inches of fish (placed end to end).This could be ten 10" fish, five 20" fish, twenty 5 " fish, etc. Our Pond Place CD has many more helpful tips and information plus ALL of our Pond Projects!
