    Woo, when you say level it off do you mean you're going to terrace it?

    Hi Woo,I would take up the offer but sorry I don't think the old back would hold up,plus I am likely to break my nails,or trip up and fall into the pond with my two left feet. :D

    Seriously though,are you going to dig out a fish pond or are you going to make a Wildlife pond?It does look like back breaking work as High Kype says :eek:
