A
Tale of Running Water
The Garden Pond
othing
beats the sound of running water, for peace.. tranquillity
. .
not to mention heaps of negative ions.
It is said neg-ions are very good for you.
Why plug a neg-ion generator into the wall socket when you can
plug it into your garden ..as a garden pond.
I live on a hilltop, which I've planted with lots of trees.
What I wanted was a garden pond and WATERFALLS.
These pages tell how it was made.
Building a garden pond is quite easy,
and can be done quite cheaply.
Build one for yourself.

The
construction of a pond involves a bit of planning.
all right.. A LOT of planning.
You have to consider some things ~like
how big an area is there.. what is the lie of the land? How
porous is the ground..
..how much will it cost in concrete, and if you want to save
a lot of money by doing it yourself, how much assistance can
you count on and how much hassle are you letting yourself
in for?
So the first thing is to ignore the fears. Dream about your
pond and draw up some plans. Get to know some fish.
Like them.
Here's a plan of my pond.

Turn your backyard into a veritable Garden of Eden, a
place to sit, read and commune with fish, ferns and neg-ions....
I've
recently made many modifications to my pond, rebuilding the
waterfalls again from scratch with new rocks, altering the water
intake arrangements etc. Shortly I'll be editing these pages
and photographs to suit. |
