Hanne, you know we will not shun you, especially now that you are an Official Pond Nut [OPN] like the rest of us.
Great job, and your garden is beautiful.

Your pond looks very nice with all your hard work :o)

All of our friends and family "smile and nod" and get glazed over eyes when we talk about our ponds. That is why we all pond online. :)

It looks fantastic.

Very pretty set up. I'm not sure by looking at the pics but if you did not pack down the berm you will experience a lot of settling and leaks around the perimeter of the upper pond. Better to fix it now before you add plants to that area.

Great Job! I am a sucker for those beautiful round stones and rocks you have incorporated in the waterfall and pond. I don't have any rocks in the pond, and yours look lovely. Also I love how you have invited the birds to your ponds.

So now that you are a Pond Nut, what are your future plans? Every year there will be a new plan. Really. lol

Warm Regards,
Lisa

I really like how you have that balance of flowers and turf around your edges. The grass edge is really hard to do well and it looks beautiful in your pictures!

Fantastic.

Thanks for all your nice comments.

I posted the rest of the pics of the pond in a separate post, as Im not sure if its ok that posts have too many pics on here?

Horton, Im so proud to be rewarded an OPN! Im still reading my way through all the old posts on here in between ponding, and Ive already read enough to know that the OPN is an honour :-D

Thanks Frogman, for reminding me to pack down the berm. By the time I laid down the liner I had stepped so much around in that bed, that I had a hard time making holes for plants afterwards :-D

Lisa, Im very lucky to live in a country full of rocks. We have lots of farmland and every year when the farmers plow they have to remove hundreds of these round rocks, we call them field-rocks. So most of them give them away for free, just to get rid of them. We did pick most of ours up from a query not far from here. You can fill a trailer with as many as you like and pay $10. Amazing, eh?

Pondbucket, I like to think of my garden as a cottage-style garden, thatÂs why I wanted as much planting as possible around the pond. I was really lucky with the lawn edges, as I had been a bit lazy and hadnt edged my lawn up to the slabs I removed for the pond. So the grass had grown way in over the slabs, and I just took those pieces of turf and laid over the edge of the pond.

Ive already begun eyeing a setting for a bigger pond some day. Now that I got the goldies, and learned that they wont stay tiny, I cant keep them in this tiny one forever :-D My husband insists that we keep this one too though :-)

Take care,
Hanne in Denmark
