The author of the classic, best-selling book on ponds presents new tips, techniques, and hundreds of resources in this guide. A huge growth of interest in ponds and aquaculture in recent years has spawned a wealth of new materials and suppliers, and new building and maintenance techniques.
Some of the topics include:
How to plan and plant a pond to attract wildlife-and how to keep away the critters you might not want, like beaversIn addition to all this - and much more - you'll learn how to evaluate the products on the market, where to buy supplies, and what is available to give you the most use and enjoyment of your "cloud in the earth."Where to buy kits or materials for rafts, docks, and gazebos, and which designs are best
How to buy the right pump for irrigation, fire protection, or flooding your skating rink
How to build goldfish pools and garden ponds
The best products for dealing with weeds, algae, and other pond problems, including innovative ideas like cleaning up with crayfish
"When people ask me for information on digging an earthen pond,
I always refer them to Tim Matson's Earth Ponds. With the Earth Ponds Sourcebook,
Tim has added yet another indispensable resource to the subject. It's easy
to see why he is known as the guru of earth pond building."
— Helen Nash,
author of The Pond Doctor and publisher of Water Gardening Magazine

There is nothing like a pond! What else can simultaneously increase your aesthetic pleasure, offer recreational opportunities, help the environment, and increase the value of your land? This is the recognized standard on ponds, now expanded to include a comprehensive guide to living happily with your completed pond and keeping it perpetually healthy. Here is everything you need to know about planning, digging, sculpting, and maintaining your pond.
"Practical Zen... Sensible counterculture... full of good advice
for pond builders, especially those who don't want to spend a lot of money."
— Noel Perrin, Country Journal
"Fresh fish, a place to swim and skate, water for gardens and livestock, enhanced real estate value, even fire protection... just a few reasons to add (or improve) a pond on your property." —Mother Earth News
"...a handsome book. Siting, construction, and maintenance are
all considered, as are the benefits-recreational, irrigation, and aquaculture."
—Richard Nilsen, Co-Evolution Quarterly

The Countryman Press, on a village green in the hills of Vermont, is a country publishing house that is determined to remain one. Because... and this is the point, the partners believe this kind of publishing company may keep closer to certain new and significant literary trends and do a special job of publishing not possible in the hurried high-pressure of a city office. And also, of course, because it is much more pleasant.
