Pond Chat / Need HELP Fast!

« on: September 06, 2008, 05:40:13 AM »

you can yell at me later but i need suggestions  fast please!!  :'(
 
I  got  the  pond (25  gallon)  into  the  ground  last  wekend with  the little  fish and  plants (  which  are  doing  great)  but now we  have Hanna bearing  down on us. I am  so worried about the  little guys. I was  thinking  of putting  the  table over the pond but  they  say  every  thing  should  be brount in.. Guys  this is Staten Island NY so I am  not used to  these kinds of storms. 60 miles winds and up to 4 to 6 inch of rain

I am  going to try  and get them out but i know it will not work.

Please any suggestions....

I was thinking of making mosaic tiles during the winter and use that as an out line. I do like the idea of differnt herbs for the shell.

I just want something different!
then maybe add a ring of wild flowers all around it

DIY Corner / Herb Garden shapes?

I was thinking of next year, planting an Herb garden but in a shape of a turtle.

I want something besides round or boxed.
Anyone have anything like this or am I the odd one here

Aquatic and Terrestrial Plant Exchange / greatest gift of all :)

« on: August 18, 2008, 01:39:37 PM »

I am about to break ground for my very first little 25 gallon pond (yes late but it was a gift). needless to say I am super excited. I was thinking that it is to late in the year to put anything in the ground, but would rather have them live indoors till spring.
So I was wondering if anyone was thinning out their garden and have anything extra for my first pond. I will pay all postage and handling!!

PS, I think I need very small things since it is only about 14 inches deep and 25 gallons
hey it's a jump off point right
