Excellent Coverage of Pond Construction Techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Water Garden Book (Hardcover)
This was the only book, that I was able to find, that covered all of the different techniques for pond construction, including fiberglass. For that reason alone it was worth the purchase price. But the book also contains an excellent review of different pond styles and half of the book is a review of different pond plants and animals. But it's strongest point is it's complete coverage of all the different construction techniques and methods.
