Handy Guide for Starting A Pool

"This book shows, through informative text and colorful photos, how to install garden ponds and pools, including such decorative features as edgings, stepping stones, bridges, and lighting. It also offers instructions on how to introduce moving water, how to care for fish and plants, and how to troubleshoot problems and maintain a pool throughout the seasons." (summary by South Texas Library System) It's so much fun to have a pool in your yard with goldfish, but there's a lot to know about setting up and caring for one. Keeping it in balance and keeping the fish healthy is well worthwhile when you get hours of enjoyment sitting by the water watching the fish. One of our fish even had babies, and some outgrew the size of pond that we had. They were relocated to a larger pond.
