Book Review of Earth Ponds: The Country Pond Maker's Guide to Building, Maintenance and Restoration

Earth Ponds: The Country Pond Maker's Guide to Building, Maintenance and Restoration
reviewed on


The book is a bit dated and some of the included costs caused me to think back wistfully to a less complicated time. That is the reason for the 4 stars. This book is part anecdote of a young mans endeavor to create a pond and nurture it and part serious considerations given to site evaluation, design and construction. There were calculations here I had not encountered in previous reads, such as how much watershed should be supplying your pond and what kind of outlets should be avoided for the Northeast.
