Everyone says I should but pond lilies need still water to bloom, but I may still try. I redid the entire edging today. You can no longer see the liner. It was a big job but we think it will be better. We are still sealing the waterfall so hopefully by tomorrow it will be running.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-23059732633407759292012-01-28T18:14:23.010-06:002012-01-28T18:14:23.010-06:00It is magnificrnce!!

I have always wanted a pond but I wanted it for the pond lilies. There are 6 ponds on our road but they have all been dug up by a backhoe and have the pond lilies except for 1 that has been stocked with fish. They used to stock fish in the one behind us Jean Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135474696468199060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-83101991772131165052012-01-28T16:38:47.547-06:002012-01-28T16:38:47.547-06:00Love the sound, now if I can just commit to all th...Love the sound, now if I can just commit to all the work....Carolyn @ Carolyn's Shade Gardenshttp://carolynsshadegardens.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-62180753122412435872012-01-28T12:36:06.666-06:002012-01-28T12:36:06.666-06:00What an amazing achievement - well done to both of...What an amazing achievement - well done to both of you.<br /><br />I agree with your OH that the black needs to be covered more. My old pond always had the black liner showing and I regretted not getting it right right at the start. I tried everything and it was never right.

Tomorrow we'll be ripping up all of the rocks on the liner, digging a coping shelf for them then putting them back on the liner and putting the mound behind the shelf. It should make a BIG difference. We learn every day and I think I have it visualized now how to edge the pond-still an issue but won't be after tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-73982317937348940562012-01-27T16:03:59.771-06:002012-01-27T16:03:59.771-06:00Yep, I agree with Mr Fixit on this one.

The waterfall on ours still isn't quite how I would want it and occasionally I go out and re do it. Good thing you do wear old clothes (like I do) to work in the yard. The last time I used waterfall foam I did wearing a brand new shirt and completely ruined it and the pants I had on.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-91227239193449155912012-01-27T10:42:23.381-06:002012-01-27T10:42:23.381-06:00Tina,
