OK, I've got the go ahead from the Grounds Keeper that I can start my pond this spring on one condition...
1. He is to be involved as little as possible.
I have a friend that has a back-hoe and he will dig the pond.
Because the Grounds Keeper loves me so much, he will involve himself in the electical part.
The rest, I am doing on my own and have never done anything like this before, I need all the help I can get.
This will be a Koi pond with a liner. Basic oval shape. I was thinking maybe 14'Lx10'Wx4'D.
Any idea how many gallons that comes out to be?
Is that big enough for Koi?
What I would like to do is have a small connecting pond with plants that flow back to the main pond to help with filteration.
What size should the small pond be?
I want to have a bottom drain but don't even come close to being a plumber. I need the easiest directions on how I do that.
Pictures on how this works would be a real plus
Or is there another option I can think about?
Best filteration?
Lots of questions, huh?
I've looked at several web sites on how to build a pond and the bottom line, I simply can't afford to have a crew come in and build it for me.
So please help me, yet keep it as simple and um, as inexpensive as possible.
I just want a beautiful pond that the fish and I can enjoy.
Thank you
