We are hoping to make a small little pond out in the shady area of the front yard later this year, and I found a very easy way to make one. You can make it using an old tire (no rim) and white or black plastic, and then it is covered over with rocks, and little plants around it, and when you are done, it looks like a real little pond.
I am thinking that if we get one of the solar powered pumps, then we don't even need electricity to keep the water moving and looking nice.
Of course, then we would need to put it somewhere that the solar pump would be able to get enough sunlight to run.
Anyway, here is the link to the page with directions for anyone else that is thinking about making a simple pond.
