    Yes, thats mine. I am keeping there a lot of vegetables, especially tomatoes

    Next project after finishing koipond is to install heat exchanger in that green house. This will be connected to the swimming pool. Hope to have something like 25 degree celcius in March

    Word of advice - don't get the tomato plants anywhere near your pond as apparently the leaves are poisonous to gold fish so I would assume koi too but could be all fish?

    EPDM Firestone liner finished. Recommend pro company for doing this part. There are a lot of clues to make it properly. Guys are 17 years in this bussiness, so everything should be just perfect. There are only few wrinkles on the bottom to correct before water in.

    Its about 100 years. In Denmark they have one 40yrs old pond with that EPDM and only 2% of its properties has vanished. In comparison PVC liner is only 10 to 15 years - still good.

    I do not know anything about fibreglass (no company is doining this in Poland) but it should be much better than PVC. Unless you have strong winters with ice on top. Even its cover brakes down the concrete with some cracks, EPDM will extend and nothing serious happen. It has got 300% stretching abilites. With fibregass I think it will crack also with concrete causing leak.

    There is also something like polyurea coating, but its most expensive of them all. We have this in Poland. Few people have done this. Some of them are happy, some not - with complicated pond shapes its hard to put it correctly everywhere. Also the pond surface has to be as smooth as possible, without even little cracks, holes.

    I will try to pour some, but first have to install all the skimmers, BDs. Then water to 2/5ths and then fishes. Rest of the water when the filter house will be ready and all the connections to the pond. Long way to go

    Something like 60 plants - my brother is keeping eye on them. Half of that green house is converted into warehouse / place where you can do all the tasks needed to be under the roof.
