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. Visit EarthPonds.com

"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
