To Pond or Not to Pond – Ask yourself the question

This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Growing Answers”. 

In this video I show and talk about the need for a pond net and also the potential downsides to using one.

The cost of this build was around $3k because I did all the work alone. This would cost between $15-$25k to be done by pros. That's not including the well dig either. Well digs are also very costly. It only cost me the tools and time. UPDATE ON THE WELL…I no longer use it to top off the pond. There is too much mineral content in the well water for top-offs.
