Hello all,
I live near Boise Idaho and am scheming up a plan for a pond. Im looking for some guidance or input for my specific design and use.
thinking around 20,000 gallons
fish are not being considered for now but not opposed to having them
would like it to be swimmable and clear for us and our dog
I will be maintaining water with a well.
I was considering running my irrigation from the pond (with a planned max draw down level) and backfilling from well every morning.
I imagine with the irrigation use it will get thousands of gallons of new water maybe every day.
this is a new idea to me and I would like some constructive input or information regarding filtration etc. I was thinking a bog filter but I don't yet have knowledge of plants that will work in my region or if a bog filter is necessary with no fish but were swimming in the pond.
any thoughts, criticism or guidance are appreciated!
