We made this pond on April 14, 2004. You drape the sod all the way into the water so it hangs in a couple of inches. Sure a little dirt gets into the water but so what? Dirt gets into your water all the time and grass makes your pond look like it's natural.

This is what it looked like on May 15th


This is our 600 gallon pond. Sod was laid right into the water. Plants are either in the ground or planted in sand in trenchs in the pond. There are no pots. Can you see the fish? The pump and the filter are both in the pond. The filter is the round mass of plants. It's a bog filter that never clogs and never needs to be changed


These are pictures of it on May 15th





This is the little bog starting to green up. Larger plants will start sprouting as the weather get's warmer


This is a picture of the small bog on May 15th. The greenery and yellow flowers will start dying away as the temperatures get warmer and the other plants that you can't see right now that are growing underneath will take over and get crazy.

This is another view of the 600 gallon pond. Note the grass right into the water
