Preamble |
Landscaping a Garden Stream in your backyard |
In
summer of 2006, I set a goal to start the 200 feet
garden stream. This will allow the pond to
discharge into the garden stream
/ artificial creek.
Objective: Build a natural filter for the pond. Water
circulation, water aeration, water filtration.
Clear water with aquatic plants!. |

Small wooden garden bridge over the beginning of
the garden creek. We will sit and swing our feet
into this waterfall.

into the ground. Then I dug up the pond liner to
have until early fall. |
