The Pond Thread

Ugh, exhausted!

It's more narrow than I wanted, but still 2.5× the size of the previous one.

Each center back block has a 4ft rebar. Will that be enough? Idk

The other sides will have dirt mounded up them to support them and move water away.

6×16×1 foot. Ground drops some here n there, but at least 718 gallons. Wanted it at 8.5ft vs 6ft, because then it would of been 1,000 gallons. Ah well. I might dig out the bottom some or I'll fold up the liner in a way that'll let me expand the bog out to a wider size.

You can see I had a bit of a mishap...I'll use little bricks and the sideways blocks to fill it. Or, if I can find a block extra, I'll try to break it to fit.

Lilys are in those empty-looking baskets. There's more in the QT pond, but need to dig up more baskets.

Got some more plants that'll hopefully grow in!

Put some in the bog. Hope they live!

Added 2 colorful caladium & 2 hosta. Moved duckweed out of the tank, too.

There seems to be a leak. Shut off bog pump and will see if water keeps dropping in pond or not.
 
Found the hole!
Ordered a patch kit.
