Removed rocks in prep. Can see the division of pebbles with the trough area, height of basic paver block. Going to move the big rocks back to the side and work on smaller rocks for coverage of liner now that I know what the plant foliage looks like in full. This gives more space for the water to flo...

Yes - apparently tinkering never ends. Was just going to fix some liner sides, changed mind. Know those concrete blocks under to make trough? Decided that maybe affects flow of nutrients and roots access to them. Going to take the rocks off the sides, lower water level mostly, pull liner up, pull th...

Water on and liking how it’s running a lot more!

Thankfully no algae in the bog or really in the falls. It’s all in the pond itself. Attached to the rocks underwater. I can get parts with pond vac but it’s all connected to a tiny central point which is well adhered.

All the plants are still sitting for now. Todays project is restructuring this area. What I came up with so far that I think I can live with and can make work w foam. Spacing rocks currently so I can puzzle them back once I have it set and know where abouts I need to foam. I think it’s looking bette...

Appears as maybe swamp verbena?

Using google image search app found this one to probably be Ohio spiderwort. Not an in-the-pond plant.
Nexxxxxt!

I need a lotto ticket. Stopped at the nursery to look for water-tolerant iris to add in hopes of greater nitrate/nitrogen uptake to stop the algae. They only had Siberian which Google suggests needs a dry period. Got talking about buy pond plants and he told me he wanted to show me their pond plants...

This is the marsh marigold. You can see some newer greener leaves which aren’t affected yet.
Stems look like a mold. Powdery mildew or something?

Fever is on to change it like what was forecast lol. It’s taken on more (string?) algae. By it’s a mass that’s attached to a small single spot on the rocks. Not floating stuff. It’s not blanket fuzz either. It looks like a mass of green but if you pull it off it’s string like. Not easy to remove wit...
