 Earth Ponds Sourcebook: The Pond Owner's Manual and Resource Guide by
Tim Matson
The author of the classic, best-selling book on ponds presents new tips,
techniques, and hundreds of resources in this guide. A huge growth of
interest in ponds and aquaculture in recent years has spawned a wealth
of new materials and suppliers, and new building and maintenance
techniques. In addition, you'll learn how to evaluate the products on
the market, where to buy supplies, and what is available to give you the
most use and enjoyment of your "cloud in the earth."
Some of the topics include:
• How to plan and plant a pond to attract wildlife-and how to keep away
the critters you might not want, like beavers
• Where to buy kits or materials for rafts, docks, and gazebos, and
which designs are best
• How to buy the right pump for irrigation, fire protection, or flooding
your skating rink
• How to build goldfish pools and garden ponds
• The best products for dealing with weeds, algae, and other pond
problems, including innovative ideas like cleaning up with crayfish
"When people ask me for information on digging an earthen pond, I always
refer them to Tim Matson's Earth Ponds. With the Earth Ponds Sourcebook,
Tim has added yet another indispensable resource to the subject. It's
easy to see why he is known as the guru of earth pond building."
