    It turned out fantastic Aircut! All of your hard work and design efforts paid off.

    I'm dying to see the pic of the "eartheater" ... for some reason the link is broken in your post.

    I second SOP's request to further update us on your project as you go. I just like seeing all the water!! :p

    The pond project is completed. waters start to clear up, 42,000 pinto beans are all planted as ground cover and nitrogen fixers, water plants and pond snails introduced.

    once there is enough natural food sources at the pond's banks we will stock it with fishes

    thank you all for following this thread.
