2011 Original pond build

I don't have any starting from scratch; this one shows the patio just put in and the main hold dug. This view shows where the waterfall will eventually be. Originally, I had it at the top of the mini-stream, feeding into bog v1 (which changed).

I didn't take any of putting in the liner so on to some finished portions; the mini-stream and bog v1 at it's head.

bog v1; basic design is 40" down, liner, 4" corrugated drain pipe/tile/tubing with slits cut 1/3 the way through every 6"
then large 8" round stone the first 12", 2" cobble stone the next 12", and 3/8" pea gravel for the final 12". I used the 4" drain tile on a downward slant to a DIY snorkel (made from a bunch of pails with bottoms cut out and stacked). One note, which I did not do on this first build, is to slant the bog walls to a point, like the letter V, so the water will all move toward this snorkel if ever needing to be cleaned out/backflushed. The bottom of the bog hole has a 4" trench dug so after laying in the liner, the 4" drain tile lays in this trench and is now the lowest point from one end of the bog (inlet) to the snorkel lowest point (outlet). I used the pails stacked because I could easily get a sump pump down into it.

initial waterfall; I didn't change it the first year, but from 2012 to 2019, I tweaked it at least 6 times.

Also, not the gray pvc bar cutting the pond in half; the original idea for this whole pond thing was so I had someplace to put my 2 painted turtles the kids and I raised from small versions to adult. Everything else just followed! This gray bar is actually the top of a plastic fence/grid to keep the turtles on one side and any fish, on the other. I didn't know much then so I thought the fish would end up turtle food and didn't want that to happen. At this time, I didn't know that a) turtles can climb! and b) fish are too fast, unless sick, for turtles to catch and eat! So I made the pond half for each.

our stow-away first frog for the pond; I put the two turtles in a kiddie pool on the driveway for the summer while I built the pond and figured maybe I'd put some cattails in there for them and must have had a tadpole hitchhike in. We named him Kermit, despite finding out later that 'he' was a 'she'. Worked for us!
