A Backyard Koi Pond
It may not be completely done yet, but oh is it functional. I gave a brief synopsis of how to build a koi pond a month or two ago, and was able to put my research to good use. Check out these links to learn more…Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5. This pond is about a 10 foot around and about 18 inches deep. The waterfall is about 4 foot high. We used a skimmer box and a waterfall box to create this awesome looking koi pond. Soon, I will talk about how to maintain this really neat backyard creation.
Happy Fishing

You tweeted 'everyone needs one of these'. Is that due to the beauty or is there a functional aspect I've missed? (Good rain water reservoir, …???) In which order would you add these to your backyard: Composting system, Worm Farm, Koi Pond.

Ok, yes, this is nothing more than a beautification options for a garden. I do think everyone needs one, but a composting system is much more functional!
Thanks for your comment.

Will you be adding plant to you new pond this spring. I am at the stone laying point. Free stones are not easy to come by, at least for me. Any suggestions.

Yes, I cannot wait to fully finish this project. You are right, free stones are a thing of the past. I don't have many suggestions, except to find some old farms and ask the farmer if he will let you scavage for stones. The problem is you will not get consistent colors or styles. I did that several years ago and found a whole pond worth of really pretty brown rocks. Lots of work, but it was free, and the farmer was glad to have them off his property.
