Re: My Japanese Garden
Man, that guy seems having fun filling it up. Hope that you don't have water restriction there 
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: My Japanese Garden
the pond (lake) has been full of water for nearly twelve months now
still about twelve months of landscaping around it to finish
a pair of large Chinese Gates in the background will be the finishing touch
