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.

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.

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.

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.
