How to Build a Water Garden
Today's site, from a commercial firm, offers information about enhancing an
outdoor space by adding a water feature. Gentle Subscribers, beguiled by
thoughts of the soothing effects of a garden pond, may find this
presentation a handy guide.
"The first step to consider is to decide what type of pond you want to
build. You should consider what type of aquatic life you want in the pond.
Is it going to be a home for goldfish or koi? Or is your main concern for
the aquatic plants? Perhaps you only want the pond for the sound of a
waterfall. Each type of pond will need to be planned for its specific
features." - from the website
The site looks at the various purposes of ponds and provides material for
different types, such as those which are primarily aquatic gardens and
those focusing on fish, such as koi or goldfish. Covering the aspects of
location, size, and construction details, the instructions include helpful
diagrams outlining pond shapes and depths. Suggestions for adding
waterfalls, with the plumbing materials required, are available, along with
advice for essential aquatic plants to inhibit algae growth and the best
procedures for adding fish.
