Planning out a Pond for a future house

FOUND IT

Edit: I clicked Upload a File, selected the picture, but I can't see it. What am I doing wrong? Autism effects how well I deal with computers. A lot. It's one of the areas where it's like a mental block stops me from retaining information or understanding.

GOT IT Sorry for bad quality, it's drawn in pencil. Except the box outside.

Yeah you got it!
I like the look you are making for your back yard. Are you thinking of having fish in the pond? If so make it as big as you can, if not big at least deep to give them water room.

No fish planned, just a water garden- some flowering plants and stuff.

Then the size is less of a concern.

I'd say plan for fish... it addictive

 

[tbendl]

I didn't want fish either. I was adamant that there would be NO FISH.

I now have fish.

I've got a fish tank. No fish in the pond. There may, however, be turtles. If there's turtles they'd eat any and all fish. Also it'd mean tiny fence required.

 

[InsanityShard]

Actually no, the turtle would eat the plants too, nevermind. Maybe ducks. They'd go well with my chickens.

Check out Rob&Amy's showcase, they get ducks but have enough filtration for all the poop. And from what I understand there is a lot of it when you have ducks. Lol

I loved my pond fishless and love it with fish, whatever tickles you is what you should build. I would just do like Nepen said and if you can, build it so if you ever want to add fish, you have the depth to do it.

Can't be worse than budgies, they poop every 10 minutes.

What is a budgie? Google says they are a hard rock band..................

The worst has to be Canada Geese (no offense Canadians), but the amount of they put out is tremendous. I have seen small ponds and those drainage ditches you see at large office building complexes look like polluted cesspools. Our local School District has fake predators on the playing fields and a sound system that blurts out predator noises and goose distress noises just trying to keep them off the fields.
