If you havent gathered Jules came down to do Gazza's and my Pergolas in the same week,luckily Gazza & i are within a hour & Bit's drive from each other so made a lot of sense to do the same week.
I also suffer quite badly with Blanketweeed,but i also wanted to add a different dimmension to the pond.I think i have done that now and with heating also been installed for pond im a very happy bunny.Just need to build a wall around filters and tidy garden and i can then relax and enjoy my Koi.
Needless to say to have all this decorating and building some furniture beckon's,but in my eye's well worth it.
Gazza you have got to have a wind chime mate it will bring you luck as they ward of evil spirits ,every koi pond /garden should have one I have to a steel one and a bamboo one wich is much quieter /LEE
I bought a very nice one in the US. It is tuned in the key of C And the chimes are about 2 foot long. A neighbor of my Granny had one in A minor that was fantastic but I could never find one like it!
