Pond is staying free of debris , but it makes no sense.
« on: August 02, 2014, 03:12:02 PM »
The waterfall used to splash over a big boulder. I made an extension for the spillway so the water falls in a very even sheet directly into the pond. It is not the "natural" look i sought, but everything seems to be more efficient.
WHY ?  It makes no sense.

this is an old photo, just to give you an idea..

The plant looks like a "Wandering Jew".  That's my guess!
