Your bog looks awesome! I'm hoping I can start working on mine next week, maybe have it ready sometime in May. I like the idea of placing some larger rocks in it. I even have a perfect log to also add to it.

my pond is looking more pond-ish today!
A little nervous because I found something kind of poking up a bit on the bottom, but its too late to turn back, hope the underlayment does its job. I spent so much time cleaning up rocks and hard clay too, figures one was missed. .

...and wow putting in underlayment and liner was a lot more work this time, but its 1/3 of the way full now. Giving the well a break before I fill more later.

you need a good rain to fill it .I got snow and rain to fill my pond jb .Filling it seems to take forever when you want to see the outcome and then comes the hardest part getting the water to test good and then decorating it.Going to get the block in the morning and then need to finish my lotus pond before next rain .Thank you I am trying to get it there talal ,getting closer anyway
