We have two nearby nurseries, and both have a good pond plant section. There's all sorts of choices, ranging from plants in the pond directly, to those in the bog, to those near the shore. In the pond, I've got a water hyacinth, attached to a weighted string to keep it from being sucked into...

You're definitely getting beyond my engineering knowledge at this point :) But as a guess, I imagine you could run a siphon off of your big pond, and run that to the float valve in the filter. Our pond is not filled under high pressure – it's attached to our outdoor faucet by a fairly small...

I think the issue with depth is just to go deep enough so that the pond doesn't freeze solid down to the bottom in the winter. I think there will be less wear and tear on the liner if it doesn't freeze solid. 1 1/2 feet is too shallow (the water in the filter tank will freeze solid – we...

Again, check with your town about regulations. Once you hit ~3 ft. deep, many towns will consider that to be a pool, tax it as such, and require it to have a fence around it. Ours is 2 1/2 feet, and is therefore considered just a landscaping feature. And 2 1/2 ft was sufficiently deep not to...

They *love* chasing fish in the pond. You can go to any pet store and get feeder fish (our store has two sizes: either small or large comets), and the ducks will go nuts for them, chasing them in the pond. (Our mallard can circle the pond several times underwater chasing them.) It usually...

www.pondcreationsbysean.com :) He banged that pond out in three days. I think my wife and I could have done it, but it would have been pretty much a whole summer of weekends. Basically it's a hole dug in the ground, with any large rocks removed, and smooth clean dirt built up on one side...

Pond Creations by Sean in Marlborough. He was super nice and very professional, and he's also really into rocks. (He's got a Facebook page with lots of great photos.) Also, that's about one third the size he wanted to make for us! As much as we love our ducks, there's a limit to how many...

This is the pond we had built for our ducks. They have a little beach they can walk out of, there's a little swamp area that the water filters through plants for biological filtering, and then there's a waterfall in the back. We'll occasionally throw in feeder fish for the ducks, and it takes...
