Hello to everybody in this online 'community'. I started a pond project 2 years ago and just got mega busy with other stuff and just left it (i'm not kidding!!). Anyway, the hard work is done in that the pond is dug out.
Originally, I had planned on it being a Koi pond - but as my first post elsewhere on the forum shows - i'm unsure if I can afford the running costs that go with it. Therefore, I'm looking at possible solutions and hoping to harness the wealth of experience here in this regard.
One option is to pump water from a nearby stream (not even sure if this will be any cheaper)
The second option is that I go with a 'natural' pond - with minimal mechanical pumping (and obviously no koi). I'd like to think that I could still have some fish in it if the pond is well 'balanced'...although I'm unsure about this...and hoping for advice on the matter.
Rgds.
