Hi all, this pond was built about two years ago, 1000 gallons with no bottom drain etc, you all get the story............
Soon to be rebuilt completley and properly.

Hi Pete,
Nice pond, what size will you build next ?

petejdalby · 26-01-2006, 08:13 PM

Hi, pond will be as large as possible ! i dont however have alot of room to use as garden is really small, but will want a minimum of 2000 gallons and 5ft deep. One other problem is i have no foul drain to run waste pipes into, only a soakaway............ could always win the lottery and move to a house with a really large garden and design a MEGA new build, "pigs might fly".
Regards Pete.

Talking of Lottery, I just purchased 3 tickets for the Euro Lottery, a prize of 100, 000,000 ................. :

Cant you pump the waste on a flower bed or over next doors garden ? :P
