This site has been very interesting with all the pond stuff. I'm learning a lot, thanks! A couple of years ago I helped my Dad build his pond (that's another topic for another time). But my wife and I decided to try and build a pond/water feature without the fish for our first try, just to keep it simple. Here's some pics of my first attempt at running a stream through my small planter. Hope you enjoy them.
