So many people email me directly asking for more pond videos, so here you go. I will also address the single most common question I get how much did it cost This pond was a lifetime work in progress, thinking of different aspects I wanted, design features, etc, then spending 20 years saving up for it. Today I will go over all the various design features in this pond, many of which cannot be seen at a surface level.
