We also give you in-depth information regarding how you determine the correct size of pump you need for the waterfall which can be totally different than the pump size you need for the pond!
Once you've got your pond or water garden set up you'll want to design a new landscape around it. Plant some flowers, trees, grasses or whatever you like. We've included dozens and dozens of pictures of some great plant selections that you can incorporate into your design! This way you can go to your local nursery and know exactly what you want!

Reading your tips and techniques refreshes my memory and motivates me not to take it's current condition lightly. I know that keeping a pond in good condition takes time and effort, and your newletter has reminded me of that. I'll visit your website soon and learn more about the beneficial bacteria additives you were discussing and consider purchasing it. Thanks again for your mail, hope to receive more." ~ Jack Jackson, Tenn.
"Very many thanks for the recent newsletter. I found it very helpful." ~Natalie M.
"I loved your course and have enjoyed your website in preparation for building a pond myself. Today I received the newsletter. It's great, too. I especially like the homey, folksy style of writing." ~ Mike Wise
P.S.S.S. You know, I can't resist this one last comment or short story, actually. I was in a home improvement center not too long ago and happened upon their 'pond supply' area. While there I couldn't help but overhear a conversation that was taking place between a sales associate and another customer. It was very obvious that the sales associate didn't know what he was talking about and was giving incorrect advice. After the customer had left I asked the sales associate if he had a pond and he confessed that he didn't and that he had just started working there 3 days ago! Now, I realize that every sales person has to start somewhere but this advice was going to cost this customer A LOT of time, money, and frustration. He had recommended the wrong size of pump for her project and advised her to use some chemicals in her pond that would not have solved the problem. Unfortunately I have heard many, many scenarios like this from 1000s of our customers. That's why we created our eBook. We want you to do things right the first time and avoid all those mistakes that so many people have made when creating their first pond!
