European gardens, par-
ticularly in Great Britain,
Southern France, Northern
Italy, Holland and West
Germany, are almost always
pictured with a yard pond.

You should select a loca-
tion on your property where
the ground is fairly even
although some leveling can
be achieved when digging
your pond. The pond should
be placed where it will get
approximately 6 hours of
sunlight per day.

While you can place your
pond anywhere, it is not
recommended to place it
directly under trees since
falling Jeaves can foul the
water and tree roots will
make digging difficult.

Using a heavy garden hose
or a rope, free-form your
pond design to conform to
your landscaping scheme.

When constructing your
pond, you should dig both a
shallow area and a deep
area. Fish benefit from the

~ shallow area to feed on in-
sects and the shallow area
can also be used to place
potted plants such as lilies.

The deep area will provide
security for your fish and
protect them from birds and
small animals. Depending on
your climate, the deep area
of your pond should be
anywhere from 24’’ to 40”,
and the shallow area from
4" t0 12".

When constructing your
pond, you should line the
