The pond is up and actually running quite well, with many new and old plants. The fish are frolicking, they love their new deep pool. However, there is a major water loss going on and I'm not sure where it is coming from. This photo is actually the wall of the upper pond leaking into the lower pond, which was some of my earliest pond construction before I had the revelation that if I added sand and gravel to the mortar that would become a conduit for water - now I stick to 100% pure hydrolic cement. Anyways I'm doing a scientific experiment and turning off the pump for a few days with the pond full to see where the water is coming from. Normally I would worry about not circulating the water but SINCE IT WON'T STOP RAINING I'm not so worried. So far it seems fairly stable and I suspect that the leaks have something to do with the higher water levels when the pump is in action. And PS, still no frogs. I wonder what's up with them.
