Chris Wilson Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I am thinking of digging a pond next year and have been reading up a bit on the subject. One mailing list I am on is in the US and they seem to make a drama out of digging something the size of a child's plastic paddling pool, let alone something a bit more ambitious. In fact it seems the members have been drafted in from old women anonymous. When someone asked "Where will the deepest part of my pond be?" I couldn't help replying "At the bottom". They've banned me Good start to 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
