bought it as a gift for my wife who is rennovating our property. one of the ponds is and has been an issue. she absolutely loves this bood, consdiering it the encyclopedia of pond care. i was also thrilled with the price as i have seen it for 10-15 fold higher other places.
A good place to start if considering building a pond. Not that great for renovating a pond, but it does give good resouces in the book that may help you find what you are looking for.
very informative, glad I found.
Lots of generic info. Prose is easy to read but not very informative - was after greater technical detail.Very little info about SE fish ponds.
