[@erick6102]

I don't think enough people appreciate the difficulty of moving these large pieces of stone around. Amazing you guys still have healthy backs!

brendabartz2026 RIGHT?? I love it too! Rosemary has coffee every morning on the deck and a glass of wine in the evenings. It's a great place to hang out.

[@sissymurphy9620]

[@ThePondDigger]

sissy murphy YES I love the round deck too! It is something else to sit on this deck with your feet hanging in the water!

I notice most all ponds are constructed using rock of volcanic origin. I live in a kansas on farmland where we are constantly removing and clearing limestone from our fields. Many of these are very large stones up to the size of a truck bed in some cases. They would make fanstastic accent stones when I build a pond of my own and tie into the natural landcape and hardscape around here. Not to mention the cost savings of using rock that as of now is merely a byproduct of our activities and that I already own and wouldnt need to truck in. Would using limestone act as a buffer or otherwise affect water quality or ph in a pond and should it be avoided? This pond is coming along nicely in this series of videos! Keep up the good work! I don't see your trucks in your videos anymore either, bring them back!

[@ThePondDigger]

Derek Blackston Hey Derek, Thanks for the great question. I know a lot of pond builders that have used limestone over the years. I have not run across any horrible stories from the usage of the rock. Here are some things to consider. Limestone will likely raise the ph in your pond. We have extremely hard and alkaline water in So Cal so buffering our water up more would not be a great idea. Check your water to see if you have room for the buffer. If you plan on rocking your entire pond from top to bottom consider using the limestone on the coping rocks and waterfalls only. Rinse the limestone well before installation and consider giving it a rinse with muriatic acid. Know that upon initial installation you will likely see a spike in ph and Once you develop a bio film on the rock the buffering will slow down. Hope that helps.

[@derekblackston4831]

That does! Thanks for the reply!

[@barbarahunt7822]

Please tell me, who constructed that round Zen Observation Deck. I would love to order on from them. Thank you

[@sissymurphy9620]

Are you getting the rain they have been talking about .Hoping to see more soon an wonder if there could be a rain delay

[@ThePondDigger]

sissy murphy Yes we are getting pounded with rain. The good news is we have already finished the filming of the pond so there will be no rain delay. We will go back for more footage in a few weeks for glamour shots! Stay Tuned!!!

[@ejmjohnston]

When will you be putting the next vids on I Check every day? Looking good tho

[@ThePondDigger]

ejmjohnston Give us about a week and we will be on track to get the rest of the series uploaded. We had to give the guy on the editing table a break and let him upload some new Koi Discussions videos!!! Thank you for your patience!! Stay tuned!

[@sissymurphy9620]

Pond will be full .You need rain but not that much at 1 time /Be safe my friend

[@ThePondDigger]

sissy murphy Yes we got pounded with rain!!!! We're all safe at Pond Digger Headquarters. Thank you for your concern!

[@Lawrence5762]

The earth moves quite a bit in your part of the world. Is there any danger of these large stones being shaken into the pond? Is it something the DIYer should be mindful of?

[@ThePondDigger]

Lawrence5762 Yes we are in earthquake territory. In nearly 20 years of building we have yet to have an earthquake move our rock work out of place. The Earthquakes we experience frequently are rolling kind of quakes. The last ridiculous quake I experienced was in 1992 in Landers. A 7.6 powerhouse that was less than 10 miles from my home at the time. It was a shocker!!!! I only had 3 ponds in the ground at that time……. Hope that answers your question.

[@meldidnot]

ALRIGHT . THATS ENOUGH. IT IS BECOMING LIKE A DREAM YARD AND POND. TOO NICE YOUR KILLIN ME....NO ICE TO CHOP THRU AND EVERYTHING....

[@ThePondDigger]

***** Thank you for torturing yourself by WATCHING!!!!

[@69bonesz]

Nice video again, but can you please give that woman some good safety shoes also :)

[@ThePondDigger]

BAHAHAHAH! Rosemary does what she wants, when she wants!!! I tried to get her in some steel toe boots but they weren't cute enough!

[@69bonesz]

Whahhaha maybe get some steel boots, paint them pink and get some diamond or studs on them to make them more fashionable an option? Then they look cute and here toes also when she ever drops a stone on them ;)

[@9385dee7]

I'd still use it as a pool.

[@ThePondDigger]
