        Good evening Spruce my friend yes this is No 2 pond although the other one is just a water feature so that I can hear the sound of running water as I sit in the garden;)

        Water Feature:smile:

          Good morning my Son said to me this morning"dad I have put some food colouring in the small pond to make the water turn blue for you:heehee: so I will have to empty to day and refill it so I put the end of the small hose pipe in the pond and proceeded to suck on the other end and got a mouth full and it hasn't worked :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                          Hi Woooo sorry I put to many ooo :rolleyespink:

                          @wiseowl

                          Has the waterlily been in 5ft of water before ? if no I wouldn't leave at 5 feet, first year I would sit it on bricks or something similar to about 18 below the water line and as it grows lower it slowly until it at the depth you require , also it will be slow to grow in the spring as the water will stay cold for longer with it being so deep.


                          update just checked " Attraction " likes to be at the final depth of 2 feet
