Concrete is the star of POND Trade’s November/December issue. And though it may not have much in the way of personality, it’s somehow still the source of some fiesty debate! While many pond builders consider concrete a necessity for a structurally sound pond, others swear by liner for its impermeability. In our cover story (part of our “Best Practices” series), Kent Wallace presents a new approach: Why not both? Though some consider them enemies, Kent’s got a lot of reasons why concrete and liner — like peanut butter and jelly — work much better together.
In other news, fall is here! For much of our readership, that means shutting down ponds and getting them ready for winter. Do you know how to prepare your pond for the big freeze? No matter how you answered, I still recommend turning to pg. 43, where Jamie Beyer lays out the crucial steps you should take to keep your fish safe through the winter. Keep turning the pages for these tips and much more!
