oh the blue prefab pond for this thread is named for...
when i first built our pond last spring i thought of course 250 is enough, the blue will fade, the koi won't grow that fast....
its nearly a year later, my two inch koi, when i got home from the 7 month deployment :helm2::helm2: are now 10 inches!!
all four of them...
so I had saved some funds for pond building and then the tradgeity in Haiti happened so I'm deployed down here for a bit but should be home just in time for the last frosts to be over nad pond building to hopefully comence.
I have the area all marked out and hands ready at the shovels for the word, we are just down to one last big question: Shouls we line it with the typical 45 mil liner or since we are making it 2 ft under the ground and the last foot block, do about an inch of concrete?
My biggest worry is concrete cracking, but we also have a ton of bamboo and river cane, will it puncture the liner?
I look forward to getting home and ponding agian!
Hope everyone is staying warm this snowy season
