360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Jun 30, 2013There are kits you can purchase on line that are actually quite clever and easy to do, along with actually looking nice. I believe we have some aqua pro's in our group that can help you out with any questions you might have.Helpful Reply

Melissa on Jul 01, 2013By myself! I used a recycled black pond form (Lowe's, if you don't have a friend) to make a nice little pond. I added a very small fountain, some large rocks, and some bright goldfish. It made a lovely sound outside my window, and was very calming. Didn't take much money, and created a real conversation piece.Helpful Reply

Peg on Jul 07, 2013I bought my pre-formed pond, a used one. Put it in last fall, let it sit. Now I'm finishing it off this week, finally! All of the rain this year kept putting off the electrician to run an outlet and power to the pond area. I'll be having a low flowing waterfall, stream area to the pond. I bought all of the needed pumps, filters, pond liner plastic and hoses. Then will finish off with plants. Can't wait!Helpful Reply

Darlene T on Jul 08, 2013Sounds great Peg... good luck! I think I've decided to go with the pondless waterfall... will probably take a while to finish, going to have to buy stuff piece mill. There are plenty of Rivers and creeks around here so a least I can get the rocks cheap (price of gas it takes to get there) then I'll have to figure out how to do the whole pump thing. We have a gazillion GNATs around here so I don't want to do ANYTHING with water that will encourage them... I've read that, unlike mosquitoes, Gnats like running water to lay there eggs... can't win, but maybe I can do something to keep them away from my Waterfall :-)... maybe a few frogs :-)Helpful Reply
