      First of all, the only thing Im sure about - is not making the same mistake as last time. I will not buy more fish before the pond(s) are ready. That will take time (years)...

      What Im gonna do fist, is turn the area around the mud pond into a nice park. Today it impossible to spend time there because of all the threes and bushes etc. Today its dark, difficult to move, and the bushes stings you. When the park is finished next year, I can start thinking about what to do with the pond(s).

      The mud pond will be needing more air and water movement. The koi added last year survived the winter this year. I do believe that one reason is the new air pump I added last year. It kept an open area all winter. I believe even during the summer I should be adding air to make water movement. My teori is that it will help fighting the alge-problems. If I can keep the few koi alive, I don't HAVE TO add more fish. Of course I would like to add more fish, but i DONT HAVE to. I can even consider adding Gold fish, but my preferred choice is koi.

      What I want to do after making the "park", is build a concrete pond. I have all the equipments, so it will not be that expensive. I can even build some sort of cover, to keep the water warm during the winter. What I haven't decided yet, is where to build it. In my garden close to my house, or in the "park"? If I choose to build it in the "park", Im considering connecting it to the mud pond. In teori the koi will seek for warmer water and come back into the concrete pond. Then I can close "the door" before it gets to cold.
      Point is, I`M NOT SURE , I will take it slow and see what happens . Im open for suggestions/advices

      We have a `Million` Cliches as to why not moving forward re `ANYTHING` we are uncertain about such as `Haste-Makes-Waste` etc ..

      Please don`t RUSH your dream into fruition Sweetie

      It WILL happen sooner once the `ANXT` to make it happen subsides ....

      Tomorrow will be the last day this summer. Monday I will be back at work. Then it is difficult to find time for this project. But it is A maraton, so I will have to be patient.













      Sorry for the low Q in the pics. I only had time to use my iPhone...

      This was the last day working in the park/with the pond this summer. 130 hours hard work in 2 weeks. Im glad I was not the one doing all the work

      If I'm lucky, some work will be done in September/October. If not, nothing will be done before next summer.

      I will keep you posted with pics as the months go by, if you are interested. This project will take several years to complete.

      To qoute Churchill:

      "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

      Sir Winston Churchill, Speech in November 1942

      Have a nice one everybody
