Subjects / Water gardens & ponds

Best books to learn Water gardens & ponds, in order

A pond is an ecosystem plus engineering, so read both in order. Begin with design, liners, and the pump-and-filtration that keeps water moving, then aquatic plants, then fish and the balance that prevents green water. Size the filtration to the fish load before you stock, and the pond stays clear; skip the biology and you're fighting algae all summer.
