| We had a low place between the driveway and a creek on our farm which stayed weedy, black and mucky. It was a great breeding ground for mosquitos but you couldn't get a lawnmower in there and it had springs so was flooded after rain and stayed muddy and wet pretty much all year. We had a friend with heavy equipment come dig it out last year and we have a 175-foot koi and goldfish pond we are slowly working to complete. Here is progress so far this spring.
I'll be posting more pix as we make more progress. Thanks for looking! |

| Wow.. .how lovely. The pitcher plant is great as is everything. Is that a shovel for a paddle? hahaha |

| LOL! Yes, we were 'up the creek without a paddle' so he had to use my shovel!!! We were trying to get the air bubbles out of the liner material. Thanks for the complements! |

| Thank you for looking! It has changed since I posted these. I will take some new pix soon since the plants have really taken off this summer. |

| That is amazing!! I wish we had the resources to do something like that. If I had my way, mine would probably take up my entire yard! Great job, LOVE IT!! |

| Lori_Carolos, we don't have the resources either! LOL! Everything we do is on a shoestring and DIY. Our friend doesn't charge much for the digging and the liners are used vinyl billboards we get to cover hay bales on our farm! Most of the plants have been begged, borrowed and stolen from friends and various other spots on our farm. The fish are 27 cents at PetSmart and some were given to us. Most of the waterlilies we got for free from my brother and a guy who advertised on Craigslist. So, jump out there and DIY like we do everything around here! I always joke that I cut my own hair and my dogs--and with the same scissors. And, it's true! I'm posting more pix from today in a new post soon. |
